Description
Images of English demonstrates how opinions of the English language reflect prejudice and hope, bigotry and pride, scorn and celebration. Richard Bailey examines the attitudes of authors, critics, and commentators toward the English language and shows how their comments offer insight into the social conditions of their times. Images of English is the first attempt to focus exclusively on beliefs about English as a reflection of society itself- some of which tout the language as nearly perfect while others signal its imminent decline. -- Back cover.
