The History of Early English provides an accessible and student-friendly introduction to the history of the English language from its beginnings until the end of the Early Modern English period. Taking an activity-based approach, this text ensures that students learn by engaging with the fascinating evolution of this language rather than simply reading about it.

The History of Early English:

  • Provides a comprehensive introduction to early, middle and early modern English;
  • Introduces each language period with a text from writers such as Chaucer and Shakespeare, accompanied by a series of guiding questions and commentaries that will engage readers and give them a flavour of the language of the time;
  • Features a range of activities that include discussion points, questions, online tasks and preparatory activities that seamlessly take the reader from one chapter to the next;
  • Is supported by a companion website featuring audio files, further activities and links to online material.
  • Written by an experienced teacher and author, this book is the essential course textbook for any module on the history of English.
