Tim Cassedy’s fascinating study examines the role that language played at the turn of the nineteenth century as a marker of one’s identity. During this time of revolution (U.S., French, and Haitian) and globalization, language served as a way to categorize people within a world that appeared more diverse than ever. Linguistic differences, especially among English-speakers, seemed to validate the emerging national, racial, local, and regional identity categories that took shape in this new world order. Focusing on six eccentric characters of the time—from the woman known as “Princess Caraboo” to wordsmith Noah Webster—Cassedy shows how each put language at the center of their identities and lived out the possibilities of their era’s linguistic ideas. The result is a highly entertaining and equally informative look at how perceptions about who spoke what language—and how they spoke it—determined the shape of communities in the British American colonies and beyond. This engagingly written story is sure to appeal to historians of literature, culture, and communication; to linguists and book historians; and to general readers interested in how ideas about English developed in the early United States and throughout the English-speaking world.

Bristol, England, 1817. A beautiful young stranger speaking an unknown language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it becomes understood that the woman is a princess from an exotic foreign land. She is welcomed by a family of aristocrats interested in using her to increase their prestige. But is Caraboo really a princess? This true story was the basis of the 1994 film Princess Caraboo, starring Phoebe Cates in the title role. A fascinating look at one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.
