Reviews
For a scholarly book pursuing English from its hazy origins to the internet, this book provides much pleasure. * The Independent *
The Oxford History of English, in sum, is an important and exhilarating new resource, not only for scholars and graduate students of literature and language, but also for the interested lay reader. * Heather C. Easterling, Modern Language Review *
