The Poe Test: Global English and The Gold Bug
This essay examines the production of Global English through literary texts by examining three adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Gold Bug” in the 1930s by competing figures in the vocabulary control movement—Harold Palmer, Michael West, and C. K. Ogden—leaders in the formation of the field of applied linguistics. The first part of the essay explains the colonial origins of the vocabulary word list and its ascendant value in the interwar period for the new discipline of applied linguistics, and as part of the competition for English language textbooks. This leads to an analysis of these three simplifications of Poe’s story that demonstrates how the language politics in Poe’s story provides a structure through which to express a nascent Global English ideology regarding race, vernacular, and auxiliary languages.

Dane law and Shepherd's Law
Meanwhile on the beautifully cloudswept hilltop of Shepherd's Law, near Eglingham, Northumberland, the hermit Harold Palmer, who likes to be known merely as Harold, has just witnessed the Archbishop of York dedicating the new church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, built in a Romanesque style, with sandstone walls and tiled roofs. The foundation stone was laid seven years ago. He had been an Anglican Franciscan friar when he was given permission by his community to begin life as a hermit. He first explored the ruins upon which the Shepherd's Law hermitage is built in 1969, in the company of Stephen Platten, now the Anglican Bishop of Wakefield, and he was encouraged by the owner of the land, the very English Sir Ralph Carr-Ellison (Eton, Lord Lieutenant, JP, MFH, Cavalry and Guards Club, that sort of thing). During last Saturday's service, a stone from Durham cathedral, carved with the cross of St Cuthbert, was placed beneath the altar. The church has no electricity. \"Shepherd's Law stands against the prevailing culture,\" commented Brother Paschal, a friend of Harold's who is guardian of the Anglican Franciscan friary at Alnmouth. \"And it has a a message that the world needs to hear.
