About this ebook
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.

- 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.
