About the book

Tells the story of the English language in three ways. This book traces the history of the language from its obscure beginnings over 1500 years ago. It shows the geographical spread of the language in its increasing diversity. It argues that, in spite of the amazing variety and plurality of English, it remains a single language. (Libri)
