About this listen

Building on last episode’s drama with the Black Death and the Hundred Years’ War, English finally started climbing out of its “common folk’s language” status in England.
But back then, English was all over the place — different regions spoke their own dialects, and there was no real standard for spelling or pronunciation. So who stepped up after the social shake-up caused by the Black Death to help “shape” English into what it would become?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes heroes who pushed English toward its first real rules and consistency.
Come along as we dive into the three big forces that teamed up to turn messy Middle English into a more unified, polished language!
