This book traces how the English language emerged from the nineteenth century as not only an imperial and bureaucratic language but also as a global one.
Michael Hancher is Professor Emeritus in the Department of English at the University of Minnesota. He has published research about Victorian writers and artists (R. Browning, Macaulay, Dickens, Carroll, Tenniel, Hunt, Millais); about intention and interpretation, speech-act theory, pragmatics, and the law; and about the history and rationale of pictorial illustration in dictionaries. Recent publications include The Tenniel Illustrations to the "Alice" Books (2nd ed., 2019); "Seeing and Tagging Things in Pictures" (2021); and "Illustrations in Dictionaries" (2024).
