Reinventing the Local: Neologism in William Barnes.
At the heart of William Barnes's best-known poetry is a set of contrasts: rural life as marked by both nostalgic inertia and fluid vitality, linguistic strangeness as both forbiddingly disorienting and tantalizingly half-familiar, speakers as both generic and idiosyncratic. Critics have tended to ap...

Critics have tended to approach these defining issues by focusing on the poet's use of Dorset dialect. However, I argue that they are best understood by carefully assessing not only Barnes's regionalisms but also his overlooked neologisms. After explaining the ideological basis of this poet's tendency to coin words, I demonstrate how his invented terms can elucidate the interlinked debates above — and, in the process, can shed new light on Barnes's conception of his authorial identity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is the property of Open Library of Humanities and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
