Media Reviews
This work meets the highest standards of scholarship by any measure. It is masterly in combining succint and broad-ranging coverage. Without exception, the topics treated are carefully reasoned and clearly expressed in every detail. The writing is lively and engaging, infected in places, one ventures to guess, by Ogden’s whimsical approach to style… Ogden allows McElvenny to work with a fine brush and create an overview of intellectual history in the 20th century, integrated to a degree that is all too rarely seen... The breadth and depth of McElvenny’s impeccable work more than earns him the right to title his book Language and Meaning in the Age of Modernism. -- W. Terrence Gordon, Dalhousie University * Historiographia Linguistica *
