Synopsis

H.L. Mencken's The American Language is a bold, witty exploration of how English evolved in the United States. With biting insight and rich detail, Mencken celebrates the quirks, slang, and democratic spirit of American speech, challenging linguistic purists and capturing a nation's voice in all its vibrant, unpolished glory.
