"The study of English language and literature in Britain changed dramatically between
the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. From Philology
to English Studies explores the contribution of philology to this evolution. Haruko
Momma charts both the rise and fall of philology from antiquity to the late eighteenth
century, and the impact of modern philology on the study of modern languages and literatures.
Focusing in detail on the work of key philologists in the nineteenth century, Momma
considers how they shaped European discourse and especially vernacular studies in
Britain: William Jones' discovery of Sanskrit in British India gave rise to Indo-European
studies; Max Müller's study of this same language helped spread the Aryan myth to
the English-speaking world; the OED achieved its greatness as a post-national lexicon
through the editorship of the Scottish dialectologist"--
