Inhaltsangabe

Despite a resurgence of interest in the history of the English Language there is currently no book available to introduce readers to the scripts used in Old and Middle English writing. The best way to gain a sense of the changes in scripts across time is via visual example, and this book seeks to show the reader just why Middle English is different from Old English and at the same time to explain how the change is gradual.Important literary texts are illustrated to demonstrate the chronological progression of the writing, for example: "Caedmon's Hymn" (the earliest extant English poem); the opening of an "Exeter Book" poem; the "Lindisfarne Gospels"; the opening page of King Alfred's first translation; an illustrated version of the story of Abraham and Isaac; passages from the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle"; early (Lalamon) and late tellings of the story of Arthur( Malory); contrasting manuscripts of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde"; "Langland"; and "York" plays. Each plate is reproduced full size where possible, accompanied by a full transcript, commentary and notes. Through visual examples, the reader will be introduced gradually to vocabulary suitable for the description of the script, so the book will be both suitable for both a general and student audience.

Anbieterinformationen

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
