"The Story of English: An English-Speaking World" with Robert MacNeil


This 1986 documentary chronicles the history of the English language and its "extraordinary journey from an obscure Germanic tribe to the edge of the universe." Presented by the erudite Robert MacNeil, the series spans a millennium and travels to 16 countries and across 5 continents to tell this fascinating story. We will post subsequent episodes over the next eight Saturdays.
