ABOUT
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.
This is the first attempt to tell the whole story of English in a popular way, and to make it accessible to the general reader.
Two thousand years ago English was confined to a handful of savage tribes on the shores of north-west Europe. Today, in one form or another, it is spoken by a billion people around the world. More widely scattered, written and spoken than any other language in history, English has become a global phenomenon.
Includes maps.
