"Exemplary...Hitchings has created a fascinating, wholly readable,
and gratifyingly informative book."---"Financial Times "(London)
The English language is a battlefield. Since the age of
Shakespeare, arguments over correct usage have been bitter; often
they've had more to do with morality, politics, and the values of
the age than with language itself. Peopled with intriguing
characters such as Jonathan Swift, Lewis Carroll, and Lenny Bruce,
"The Language Wars" is essential reading for anyone interested in
the contemporary state of the English language, its contested
history, and its future.
