Swearing as an art probably reached its highwater-mark in the late eighteenth century. This light-hearted short volume by an established writer takes us through the history of all kinds of swearing and improper language and the reasons behind it - both psychological and religious. As part of the Today and Tomorrow series, this neat little survey is more like a pamphlet. Somewhat worn leather-bound edition, worn slightly and with a stain on the spine. Hardback without dust jacket. Condition: Good. Author: Robert Graves. Publisher: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., 1927 (2nd edition). 94pp to text, and a further 14pp of index to Today and Tomorrow book series of which this publication is part. Powell-Newick sticker to front pastedown.
