Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rich tapestry of London's 'low' language from its origins in 16th-century cant to the vibrant hybrid of the modern metropolis. The author traces the evolution of these tongues through the underworld's cant and the upper world's slang, blending the two in a secret language that evolved throughout the ages. The author delves into the hidden meanings and rich history behind these secret languages, shedding light on the hidden lives of those who used them. However, this book is not just a historical record; it's a living, breathing account of a language still spoken today in unexpected corners of London. The author's deep dive into the language offers a unique perspective on the ever-changing face of London and its resilient subcultures.
