Chaucer's Language

Reviews / Votes

'Horobin's book is the best short, accessible but rigorous introduction to Chaucer's Middle English on the market.' Anne Laskaya, English Department, University of Oregon, USA 'The author turns linguistic facts into consistently deft critical analysis, making the book useful not just as a 'background' study, but as a stimulus to thinking about Chaucer as a literary author.' Marilyn Corrie, University College London, Department of English, University College London, UK Praise for the first edition: 'A well-written and informative book.' - Robert Boenig, Texas A&M University, USA 'The book is accessibly written and presented, but also maintains rigorous standards of scholarship, and is informed by the most recent research...This will be a valuable teaching and reference tool for courses on Chaucer, Middle English language and literature, and history of the English language, but is also of interest to the general reader.' - Medium Aevum 'Highly recommended' - Times Higher Education Supplement '...accessible and informative...' - Year's Work in English Studies 'An excellent resource ... indicative of an author impeccably well versed in the Chaucerian corpus' - Studies in the Age of Chaucer
