This book gives a fascinating account of the unique history of the national creole language of Mauritius and the process of standardization that it is undergoing in postcolonial times The central question is how far a creative writers activity may affect the status and linguistic forms of a regional language The book focuses on the work of the author Dev Virahsawmy who particularly through his Shakespeare translations is an active agent in the standardization of Mauritian creole The approaches employed in From Creole to Standard combine a sociolinguistic examination of changing language attitudes with detailed textual studies of some of Virahsawmys works to show the relation of his work to the process of language development This book is relevant to the study of other creole languages undergoing standardization as well as to questions of language development more widely Its strength lies precisely in its interdisciplinary approach which addresses different readerships Mooneerams study is of great interest to both postcolonial thinking and sociolinguistics but also has important implications for debates about the role of canonical literary works and their transmission in the wider world Her book is also a contribution to Shakespeare studies and the field of literary linguistics There are interesting parallels between the contemporary situation of Mauritian creole and English in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Virahsawmys adaptations and translations into creole echo the role Shakespeares originals played for English and Mooneeram demonstrates how other writers have followed Virahsawmy in using literary forms to enrich the language
