Kurzfassung:
'Talking Proper' is a history of the rise and fall of the English accent as a badge of cultural, social, and class identity. The text traces the origins of the phenomenon in late 18th century London, follows its history through the 19th and 20th centuries, and charts its downfall during the era of New Labour.
