Many have written about the evolution of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, but only Seth Lerer situates these developments within the larger history of English, America, and literature. This edition features a new chapter on the influence of biblical translation and an epilogue on the relationship of English speech to writing.

A unique blend of historical and personal narrative. Inventing English is the surprising tale of a language that is as dynamic as the people to whom it belongs.
