Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a valuable collection of Old English (OE) and Middle English (ME) texts that serve as an accessible introduction to the history of English. The author begins with the earliest attested document in English, a hymn attributed to Cædmon, and concludes with a selection dating from the late 14th century. The texts are drawn from a variety of genres, including poetry, prose, sermons, legal documents, and chronicles, and they shed light on the development of English language and literature from its origins through the medieval period. In addition to the texts themselves, the book provides detailed introductions that set each selection in its historical and literary context, along with notes and a glossary that facilitate comprehension for readers unfamiliar with OE or ME. The book is a valuable resource for students of English philology, literature, and history, and its comprehensive approach makes it an ideal companion for courses on the history of English language and literature.
