Rezensionen

'Informative, lucid, inspiring, Essentials of Early English is an excellent introductory resource for both language and literature students. Profoundly appreciative of the material nature of the written word, and why it matters, this volume equips the student to engage in further study of the subject with confidence and pleasure.'
Catherine Batt, University of Leeds, UK

'I am delighted that the third edition of Essentials of Early English has been prepared for publication. Like its earlier editions, it is an exceptionally friendly introduction to Early English, and yet includes all essential details in this field. I will recommend it widely to students beginning to learn the history of English.'
Yoko Iyeiri, Kyoto University, Japan
