Purist Pursuits
Language, Global Ideas, and the Creation of Western Armenian in the Ottoman Empire"Purist Pursuits is a groundbreaking study that opens Western Armenian to the methods of the social history of language. Jennifer Manoukian expertly recovers not only the ideologies that shaped the modern vernacular in its formative years, but also the lives of diverse actors who transformed their language into a vast and contentious battleground."—Michael Pifer, University of Michigan "Exciting, extensive, and fine-grained, this work on the development of Armenian situates language discussions in the context of a modernizing literary marketplace, as the Ottoman Empire was affected by Western ideas and new print media. Purist Pursuits shines new light on Armenian history and on nineteenth-century cultural nation-building."—Joep Leerssen, University of Amsterdam
