| adam_text | Seth Lerer tells a masterful history of the English language from the
age of Beowulf to the rap of Eminem. Though many have written
about the evolution of English grammar, pronunciation, and vocabu-
lary, only Lerer situates these developments within the larger history
of the English language, America, and literature. This edition 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, Inventing English is the surprising
tale of a language that is as dynamic and innovative as the people to
whom it belongs.
