Jonathon Green, Language! 500 Years of the Vulgar Tongue. London: Atlantic Books, 2014.

Hardcover, dustwrapper, 421 pages.

In fine, as-new, condition.

'In this richly entertaining book, Jonathon Green traces the development of slang and its trajectory through society, and offers an impassioned argument for its defence. Beginning, at least in recorded terms, in the gutter and the thieves' tavern, and displayed only in a few criminological pamphlets, slang has made its way up and out: across social classes and into every medium.'
