A work of profound scholarship and powerful
storytelling from host Robert MacNeil, this classic nine-part PBS
series remains one of the great narratives of linguistic
studies and is now available on digitally re-mastered, menu-driven DVD.

Steeped in history, geography, sociology, and
political drama, The Story of English has little to do with
dictionaries, official documents, or highbrow literature.
It is a tale of language used for immediate needs, in street talk,
popular entertainment, war, and trade and it covers more than
a millennium of civilizations ebb and flow.
Vividly capturing a sense of global dynamics, the series travels to 16
countries and across 5 continents as it follows the evolutionary
path of the first worldwide language.
9-part series, 58-59 minutes each.

Ep 1 - An English Speaking World
Ep 2 - The Mother Tongue
Ep 3 - A Muse of Fire
Ep 4 - The Guid Scots Tongue
Ep 5 - Black on White
Ep 6 - "Pioneers O! Pioneers"
Ep 7 - The Muvver Tongue
Ep 8 - The Loaded Weapon
Ep 9 - Next Years Words: A Look Into The Future

Efficient delivery time. Product was acceptable. Advertised as newly remastered but the quality of the video was like a copy of a copy of the original VHS. Sound OK. V/6 A/8		Jan 12, 2012 Canada thelad (1 purchase)
