From its dim origins among Germanic speakers in the British Isles, the English tongue spread for
over a millennium through commerce, cultural exchange, and military conquest to become
the
defacto
language of our modem, globalized world. From the Shanghai stock exchange to the
United Nations to Internet message boards, whenever people reach out to one another across
culture and geography, they do so overwhelmingly in English. Yet the remarkable story of its rise
to global dominance has been curiously neglected by historians.
In this compact and engaging narrative—the first on the subject to be written by a professional
historian—the tale of English s rise to global ascendancy is given its proper historical due. Moving
beyond the familiar, Western-centric histories of the language s native speakers, author David
Northrup explores how and why English has been so thoroughly embraced across the world.
Refreshingly, he also reestablishes simple human agency as a critical historical factor, showing
that individuals acting in their own self-interest—rather than abstractions such as capitalism
or imperialism —are what account for English s unprecedented worldwide reach.
