About the book
Tracing the history of swearing from ancient Anglo-Saxon traditions and those of the Middle Ages, through Shakespeare, the Enlightenment and the Victorians, to the Lady Chatterley trial and various current trends, Professor Geoffrey Hughes explores a fascinating, little discussed yet irrepressible part of our linguistic heritage. This latest edition contains a postscript updating various contemporary developments, such as the growth of political correctness.
