5.0 out of 5 stars
convincing historical research,
This review is from: Images of English: A Cultural History of the Language (Paperback)
Bailey's book deals with the attitudes towards English and how they have changed over the centuries. For this purpose the author has collected an impressive amount of evidence which he presents in a convincing, not overly academic way. Bailey deals both with attitudes towards English in Great Britian itself and abroad, that is in the former colonies. A highly recommended book!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This book is still as strong 12 years on; see review at amazon.co.uk, where I suggest it is ill served by its wimpy title. Engaging is a word people like to use about Bailey - it is apt
