<br>Subject: Query
<br>A grad student in our department (Cordelia Scharpf) is starting to work on
<br>some fiction written here and abroad in German by Mathilde Franziska Anneke,
<br>an abolitionist and early feminist leader. Much of the work deals with
<br>slavery. Anneke's representation of African-American speech owes much to
<br>English literary works of the time, but contains other elements as well.
<br>Some of these are Anglicisms, some stereotypical foreign talk and so on.
<br>
<br>Can anybody recommend good recent work on the representation of African-
<br>American speech in 19th c. literature? Has anything at all been done on
<br>this topic using literature in languages other than English?
<br>
<br>Thanks,
<br>joe salmons
