It is the long hot summer of 1796. In Devonshire, fourteen-year-old Sarah lives on the large farm, which has been home to countless generations of her late mother's family. Born and bred in the town, her father becomes increasingly dissatisfied with rural life. Sarah finds herself resenting him more with each passing day. He never allows her to work in the house or on the land and he forbids the entire household from mentioning her mother. And now to her dismay, he intends to send her away to a boarding school for young ladies. One day, with her father supervising the harvest, a gentleman calls at the farmhouse. When he speaks fondly of her mother, Sarah warms to him. But later the purpose of his visit devastates her. A long Way Back is a four part series set in the West Country of England at the turn of the nineteenth century. The books follow the journeys of three young women, Sarah, Grace and Annie as they each search for happiness in the face of adversity.

Sarah : A Long Way Back

This volume provides the first comprehensive investigation of the Netherlands in the World Englishes paradigm. It explores the history of English contact, the present spread of English and attitudes towards English in the Netherlands. It describes the development and analysis of the Corpus of Dutch English, the first Expanding Circle corpus based on the design of the International Corpus of English. In addition, it investigates the applicability of Schneider’s (2003, 2007) Dynamic Model, concluding that this and other such models need to move away from a colonisation-driven approach and towards a globalisation-driven one to explain the continued spread and evolution of English today. The volume will be highly relevant to researchers interested in the status and use of English in the Netherlands. More broadly, it provides a timely contribution to the debate on the relevance of the World Englishes framework for non-native, non-postcolonial settings such as Continental Europe.
