This is in Russian and is quite rare from 1960 book in good clean condition. 

**"Historical Mythology of the English Language" by V.N. Yartseva** is a work published by a prominent Russian linguist, Yartseva, who is well-known for her contributions to the study of the English language and comparative linguistics. Her work, particularly influential in Russia, examines the historical development of the English language from its roots in Old English to its modern form.

In this book, Yartseva explores various myths and misconceptions surrounding the history of the English language, analyzing how historical events, cultural exchanges, and migrations shaped the language. She delves into the social and cultural aspects that contributed to the rise of English as a global lingua franca, touching on topics like linguistic evolution, the influence of other languages (e.g., Latin, Norse, French), and the nature of myth-making in linguistic history.

Although the original Russian text may be challenging to find in English-speaking countries, Yartseva’s research is respected among scholars of language history for its analytical depth and insights into the mythological narratives constructed around English.
