'... far and away the biggest and most ambitious history of the language ever published, and to judge from the quality of the two volumes that have appeared, it will be an achievement of which all concerned can be thoroughly proud.' Randolph Quirk, London Review of Books Elizabeth Closs Traugott, Stanford University
The first multi-volume work to provide a full and authoritative account of the history of the English language. Volume 1 deals with the history of English up to the Norman Conquest. Volume 2 covers the Middle English Period, describing and analysing developments in the language up to the introduction of printing.
