Focusing on English from Alfred the Great to the present, Tim Machan offers a fresh perspective on the history of language." "Drawing on an array of evidence from archives, literature, history, polemics, and the press, as well as centuries of legislation, Tim Machan uncovers the perennial nature of concerns about the poverty and purity of English."--Jacket.
