Reviews
'Moore's study considers the implications of the lack of conventional ways for marking reported speech in late Middle English ... this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars from different fields.' Carla Suhr, Journal of Historical Pragmatics
'Within the fields of medieval literary studies and of quoted speech, [this] book is refreshing for its holistic approach, which fruitfully combines original insights both from the linguistic and the literary perspective.' Peter Petre, English Text Construction
