Opis

Text and Language in Medieval English Prose is a collection of essays featuring new scholarship in the field of medieval English philology in general and medieval English prose in particular, presented in honour of Tadao Kubouchi. Many of the contributions are informed by the renewed attention to manuscript evidence that is a recurring theme in his From Wulfstan to Richard Rolle: Papers Exploring the Continuity of English Prose (Cambridge, 1999).
