This 'engaging history of punctuation' (Wall Street Journal) is not only the first history of its kind but a complete guide on how to use English punctuation. Behind every punctuation mark lies a thousand stories. The punctuation of English marked with occasional rationality is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of uncertainty and passion inspiring organisations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts correction-pens in hand in a crusade against error. Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit clarity and commonsense. He gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half millennia and he offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context.
