<br>A couple essays in _Language Variety in the South Revisited_ (coming out
<br>in a couple months from The University of Alabama Press) concern literary
<br>representations of AAE. In "An Early Representation of African-American
<br>English," Marianne Cooley (Univ. of Houston) discusses features of AAE
<br>represented in productions of _The Padlock_ in the late 18th and early
<br>19th centuries. Katherine Wyly Mille (U of North Carolina, Greensboro)
<br>writes about Ambrose Gonzales's Gullah.

<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?
