Etymological Collections of English Words and Provincial Expressions

Beschreibung

This book is the first critical edition of White Kennett's Etymologicon Anglicanum, a long forgotten etymological compilation of the late 1690s with a substantial amount of regional dialect material. The first part introduces and contextualizes Kennett's work, and the second offers a fully annotated edition of the text with substantial commentary.
