An appraisal of the hundreds of artificial languages developed since the early 17th century, this book explores the many attempts to forge an international language. It traces the troubled history of the movement, paying particular attention to Esperanto and its rivals in this century. While sceptical about the chances of adoption for any international language, the author treats sympathetically the impulse behind the quest for a universal mode of communication.
