A Cursory History of Swearing is a book written by Julian Sharman in 1884 that explores the history and evolution of swearing throughout different cultures and time periods. The book covers a wide range of topics including the origins of swearing, the use of profanity in literature and the arts, the social and cultural significance of swearing, and the impact of swearing on language and communication. Sharman examines various types of swearing, from blasphemy to obscenity, and provides examples of how these forms of language have been used throughout history. The book also delves into the psychology of swearing, exploring why people swear and the emotions and motivations behind it. Overall, A Cursory History of Swearing provides a comprehensive and fascinating look at the history and cultural significance of one of the most controversial and ubiquitous forms of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
