Review
From reviews of the first edition
This impressive new textbook is in every respect a model of careful planning and thoughtful execution. It offers the student both introduction to the study of Middle English language (presuming no background in Old English) and a well–chosen selection of texts that provides and excellent cross–section of the wide variety of literary types produced during the Middle English period. Speculum
Readable and sympathetic to students (it never loses sight of Modern English) it will be appreciated by teachers as a precious tool for seminar work. Medium &Ævum
The evidence of careful thought is everywhere . So well–composed a book of Middle English deserves to succeed. YES
