What
started as a minor Germanic dialect spoken by the Saxons became perhaps
England’s greatest export. Written and presented by Melvyn Bragg, this
eight-part series tells the story of how English became a global language.
Along the way, each episode uses location footage, rare manuscripts,
linguistic experts, and fascinating etymologies to chart the growth of
English, its encounters with other languages, its history, and its
far-ranging influence. 8-part series, 52 minutes each. The DVD version has
on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player or computer
DVD-ROM drive.
