Books by Rupert Gavin

4. Rupert Gavin, Amorous or Loving?: The Highly Peculiar Tale of English and the English .  An excellent book that will make my best of the year list.  How did the English language come to be so diverse and also have so many words?  Along the way you get decent insights into economic history, the importance of London, and the Straussian readings of Macbeth.
