Abstract
A product of the “Why English?” conference held in Oxford in October 2006, this volume is somewhat afflicted by the problems which beset many such collections. The individual papers gesture at more extensive, more fullyarticulated arguments that the contributors have made elsewhere, while the whole ensemble leaves unexplored important tensions and contradictions among the contributions. There is consensus, to be sure, that something needs to be done about the parlous state of English, but it’s not at all clear that the contributors agree on what that something is.
