Description
Pronunciation in Britain acts as an image of identity laden with social and cultural sensitivities. In "Talking Proper," Mugglestone studies the shifts in attitudes to language (and in language itself) which, in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, came to influence the rise of many still current peculiarities of English speech.
