VHS Movie Reviews of The Story of English, Programs 1-9 [VHS]
Movie Review: A product worthy of being available on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an informative and engaging series that was brilliantly done in 1986. It traces the evolution of the English language. I want to buy this and use it but I can't believe that it isn't on DVD. A series this good (though some parts of it are a little dated) is something everyone who speaks English should see. Five stars are not enough.
Summary of The Story of English, Programs 1-9 [VHS]
Encompassing history, geography, sociology, drama, language, arts, and more, The Story of English takes viewers on an unforgettable journey through the history of the English language. Host Robert MacNeil travels the world to illustrate the language's global influence. Part travelogue, part linguistics, part history, and all fascinating, the series is a unique blend of solid scholarship and engrossing entertainment.Documentary VHS Video
