A fascinating study for one with any interest in language... In the first 130 pages Mosse gives a detailed account of the grammar of the language and of the changes that were occurring; in the next 200 pages, a varied selection of texts from the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries; and then 100 pages of notes and glossary. This is no idle-hour reading, but if one really wants to learn about the English language and literature in their formative period, this is the book. Christian Century In a few words to manage to say so much that is really instructive and helpful to beginners, testifies to the extent of the author's experiences and activity as a teacher of the subject-and his success as such.
