Offering the history of the rise and fall of the English accent as a badge of cultural, social, and class identity, this work traces the origins of the phenomenon in late eighteenth-century London. It, then, follows its history through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and charts its downfall during the era of New Labour.
