The Evolution of English Prose, 1700–1800: Style, Politeness, and Print Culture

At the beginning of the eighteenth century ordinary written English was close to speech; by 1800, people expressed themselves much more formally, politely and precisely. Using examples from a wide variety of prose writers of the century, Carey McIntosh explains how and why this change occurred.
