Although Cockney can be considered to be one of the most important
non-standard forms of English, there had been little to no
scholarly attention on the dialect prior to William Matthews's 1938
volume Cockney Past and Present. Matthews traced the course of the
speech of London from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the
twentieth century by gathering information from many sources
including plays, novels, music-hall songs, the comments of critics
and the speech and recollections of living Cockneys. This book will
be of interest to students of language and linguistics.
