Críticas:

Lynda Mugglestone's glorious book Talking Proper...gives us a closely researched history of the English accent as a badge of identity (Ian McMillan, The Times)

Reseña del editor:

Talking Proper is a history of the rise and fall of the English accent as a badge of cultural, social, and class identity. Lynda Mugglestone traces the origins of the phenomenon in late eighteenth-century London, follows its history through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and charts its downfall during the era of New Labour. This is a witty, readable account of a fascinating subject, liberally spiced with quotations from English speech and writing over the past 250 years.
