English is the collective work of millions of people throughout the ages. It
is democratic, ever-changing and ingenious in its assimilation of other
cultures. English runs through the heart of world finance, medicine and the
Internet, and it is understood by around two thousand million people across
the world. Yet it was very nearly wiped out in its early years.

In this book Melvyn Bragg shows us the remarkable story of the English
language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its
position today as a truly established global language. THE ADVENTURE OF
ENGLISH is not only an enthralling story of power, religion and trade, but
also the story of people, and how their day-to-day lives shaped and continue
to change the extraordinary language that is English.
