The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors [Audiobook]

The author of the New York Times best-seller The Plantagenets chronicles the next chapter in British history - the actual historical backdrop for Game of Thrones. The 15th century saw the longest and bloodiest series of civil wars in British history. The crown of England changed hands five times as two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to rule. Now, celebrated historian Dan Jones describes how the longest reigning British royal family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by the Tudors.

Intonation and Grammar in British English

Intonation and Grammar in British EnglishThe variety of English described in this work is informal educated spoken Southern British. The work is based on a study of recorded texts together with an examination of my own usage as a native speaker. In articulatory features the speakers represented in the recorded texts varied within narrow limits, from "received pronunciation" in the strict sense, with no observable regional characteristics, to a form recognizably southern but still clearly acceptable as "standard British": roughly the range specified in the principal works of Daniel Jones and used as the basis for the teaching of English as a foreign language in areas where British English is taken as the model.

The Prodigal Tongue: The Love-Hate Relationship Between American and British English

The Prodigal Tongue: The Love-Hate Relationship Between American and British EnglishAn American linguist teaching in England explores the sibling rivalry between British and American English
"English accents are the sexiest."
"Americans have ruined the English language."
Such claims about the English language are often repeated but rarely examined. Professor Lynne Murphy is on the linguistic front line. In The Prodigal Tongue she explores the fiction and reality of the special relationship between British and American English. By examining the causes and symptoms of American Verbal Inferiority Complex and its flipside, British Verbal Superiority Complex, Murphy unravels the prejudices, stereotypes and insecurities that shape our attitudes to our own language.

Shakespeare, Race and Performance: The Diverse Bard

Shakespeare, Race and Performance: The Diverse BardWhat does it mean to study Shakespeare within a multicultural society? And who has the power to transform Shakespeare?
The Diverse Bard explores how Shakespeare has been adapted by artists born on the margins of the Empire, and how actors of Asian and African-Caribbean origin are being cast by white mainstream directors. It examines how notions of 'race' define the contemporary British experience, including the demands of traditional theatre, and it looks at both the playtexts themselves and contemporary productions.
