From Grub Street to Fleet Street: An Illustrated History of English Newspapers to 1899
This book is helpful in places and was a useful source of quotes for my A2 English Language Coursework. However, it was very wordy. It's the sort of book that you need to stop and think for every other sentence to try and work out what it just said. Also some facts and statistics were out of date, given that it was published in 1991. It refers to Diana as still being alive and makes several other cultural references that no longer make sense.
Linguistically, this book is very sound. If you're an academic who did your degree in the 1980s, I would 100% recommend this book. But for me as an 18 year old A levels student, it just didn't make a lot of sense.
I'll read it again after my degree and let you know if I got it then...
