- I found references in Wordnik to two novels in which 'theeself' is used: Framley Parsonage (1860) Anthony Trollope (British) Nick of the Woods (1837) Robert Montgomery Bird (American) From the few passages quoted in Wordnik it looks to me like the word was used to depict people who spoke a local dialect.
