The Englishing of French Words; the Dialectal Words in Blunden's Poems


Book Description

This book, written by The Society of Pure English, is intended to denounce the practice of using French words in English-language novels, instead of using existing English words or inventing entirely a new one to refer to the same concept. They've also pointed out several authors who are prone to this habit, such as Charles Lamb, while also praising authors who disdain practice, such as Mark Twain.
