About this product

Product Information

Now revised, The Story of English is the first book to tell the whole story of the English language. Originally paired with a major PBS miniseries, this book presents a stimulating and comprehensive record of spoken and written English-from its Anglo-Saxon origins some two thousand years ago to the present day, when English is the dominant language of commerce and culture with more than one billion English speakers around the world. From Cockney, Scouse, and Scots to Gulla, Singlish, Franglais, and the latest African American slang, this sweeping history of the English language is the essential introduction for anyone who wants to know more about our common tongue.

  • Great book about the English Language!

    Wonderful, in depth book about the creation, growth and history of the English language. Great companion to the television programs that can viewed on YouTube.

  • The Story of English

    The companion piece to the nine-part PBS TV series from 1986, a scholarly look at our native tongue, where it came from, how it got here, and where it's going. Although more than twenty years old, it is still a useful educational tool. The book is difficult to find in hardcover. It crystallizes in print many of the concepts presented in the video series.

  • Excellent read
