Hardcover. Condition: As New. ### The STORY of ENGLISH by Robert McCrum, William Cran & Robert MacNeil 1987### ## THIS BOOK: Classified AS NEW, this is the 1987 edition. First published by Faber and Faber in 1986. Nice and clean throughout on quality paper stock. The dust jacket is black with coloured thumbnails of famous people, and the title is in silver (This hasn't shown up in my scanned images as it reflects back, but the title is there front and back). There are 9 Chapters and over 150 illustrations, black and white and colour. A Fascinating book which knowledgeably explains the Story of English and where it all began. This is a book from a private collection of a friend, and the condition is brilliant.## ## THE STORY OF ENGLISH: The Story of English is the extraordinary tale of a language that came from nowhere to conquer the world. Two thousand years ago, speaking English was confined to a handful of savage and now forgotten tribes on the shores of northwest Europe. Today, in some form or another, it is spoken by perhaps a billion people worldwide, of whom 350 million ? nearly one-tenth of the world's population ? use it as their mother tongue. English has become the global phenomenon of our times, more widely scattered, more widely written and spoken than any other language in history. ## ##Why do the people of Newfoundland speak English with an Irish brogue? What do Australians have in common with Cockneys? How did the hippy movement borrow rhyming slang? When did NASA send the English language into outer space? This book explores these and dozens of other questions in nine absorbing journeys across an extended period and area, from Chaucer's England to Reagan's America. These journeys show how English was taken from the villages of England, Ireland and Scotland to the settlements of the New World. How it was carried in slave ships from West Africa to the plantations of the Caribbean and the Deep South, and how it scattered with the servants and soldiers of the British Empire to the farthest corners of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India and the Far East.## ##This book is the first to attempt the whole story of English popularity and to make it accessible to the general reader. It accompanies the nine-part BBC television series and is based on extensive travel and research. Fully illustrated, it is a stimulating and comprehensive record of spoken and written English in all its variety ? from Cockney, Scouse and Scots to Geordie, Gullah, Strine, Singlish and Franglais. It is a story that will make us all wonder and think again about the words we use and how we say them ? fascinating reading for the English-speaking world. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY. Please get in touch for a shipping quotation. ####. No Author signature.
