Abstract

"Introduction to Old English" is the leading text available designed to help students engage with Old English literary and historical texts for the first time. This new edition builds on the success of the original and includes an expanded anthology and new, easy-to-use glossary. The book's rich pedagogy includes basic grammar reviews at the beginning of each major chapter, covering the foundations of Old English. Other features include 'minitexts' for practice in reading the language, and a detailed introduction to meter and style that eases the transition from prose to poetry. The original anthology of 14 readings has also been expanded to include four new texts: Alfric's Sermon on the "Book of Job"; The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry (1087) on William the Conqueror; "The Voyages of Ohthere and Wulfstan" from the "Old English Orosius"; and "The Battle of Maldon". "Introduction to Old English" is an essential text for all students encountering the field for the first time.

Abstract

This study of the Old English relative clause arises largely in response to Bruce Mitchell's Old English Syntax, a work of enormous scope which appeared in 1985. Whereas Mitchell's work covers the entire range of sentence structures in the language, my study focuses on a single type-the relative clause.

Abstract

Old English is a companion to Old English studies and to historical studies of early English in general. It is also an introduction to Indo-European studies in the particular sense in which they underpin the history of English. Professor Roger Lass makes accessible in a linguistically up-to-date and readable form the Indo-European and Germanic background to Old English, as well as what can be reconstructed about the resulting state of Old English itself. His book is a bridge between the more elementary Old English grammars and the major philological grammars and recent interpretations of the Old English data.Old English assumes a basic knowledge of phonetics and phonology, the elements of syntactic and morphological theory, and an introduction to historical linguistics. An extensive glossary gives definitions of the major technical terms used.
