In his new book detailing the controversies and fraught histories that accompanied efforts to regularize English grammar, Bryan A. Garner shows that the grammarians of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were a surprisingly contentious and opinionated lot. \u003cbr\u003e ​ \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaming the Tongue in the Heyday of English Grammar (1711-1851)\u003c\/i\u003e makes the primers of the period come alive in ways that their concerned and idiosyncratic authors might not have envisioned. The entries in \u003ci\u003eTaming the Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e--which has nearly five hundred color illustrations--are packed with scrupulously recorded information on the content and publication details of the primers, as well as tantalizing tales from the authors' lives. Combining scholarly rigor with lively anecdotes, Garner sheds light on the controversies and unexpectedly fiery histories of English grammatical disputes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBryan A.
