As you know there are a lot of textbooks, and several journals devoted
to programming languages. A recent book with an historical perspective
on computer science (including a lot of material on programming languages)
is:

   Shasha and Lazere, "Out of their minds, The Lives and Discoveries
      of 15 Great Computer Scientists, Copernicus (Springer-Verlag), 1995.
