Incredible August 9, 2005

You may want to read, in particular, volume I of this series to give you the context of standard British English, but this is excellent if one wants to understand the history and the modalities of varieties of English around the world.

A basic knowledge of phonetics is required, but imitating accents based on this basic knowledge + the information contained in this book is perfectly possible.

Very readable too; academically impeccable without being academically inpenetrable.
