This practical and informative course book is a fascinating, visual volume, which leads the student through the development of the language from Old English, through Middle and Early Modern English to the establishment of Standard English in the 18th century. Such wealth of texts, as well as the structured activities and the various case studies, allow the volume to be used not only as a stimulating course text but also as a comprehensive resource book and invaluable reference tool for teachers and students at all levels.
