Description:

A history of English from the age of Beowulf to the rap of Eminem, "written with real authority, enthusiasm and love for our unruly and exquisite language" (The Washington Post).

Many have written about the evolution of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, but only Seth Lerer situates these developments within the larger history of English, America, and literature. This edition of his "remarkable linguistic investigation" ( Booklist) features a new chapter on the influence of biblical translation and an epilogue on the relationship of English speech to writing.

A unique blend of historical and personal narrative, both "erudite and accessible" ( The Globe and Mail), Inventing English is the surprising tale of a language that is as dynamic as the people to whom it belongs.

"Lerer is not just a scholar; he's also a fan of English-his passion is evident on every page of this examination of how our language came to sound-and look-as it does and how words came to have their current meanings.the book percolates with creative energy and will please anyone intrigued by how our richly variegated language came to be."- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
