Clarendon Press From AngloSaxon to Early Middle English
Book SynopsisFrom Anglo-Saxon to Early Middle English brings together eleven papers on aspects of English language and literature from the eighth to the thirteenth century, written in honour of E.G. Stanley, the recently retired Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Oxford.The papers, written by eminent scholars from Britain, North America, New Zealand, and Germany, reflect the range of E.G. Stanley''s work, examining philology, metre, and literary style. However, the focus of the volume is on the period of rapid change from late Anglo-Saxon to early medieval England, and the contributors consider in detail the ways in which both language and literary forms developed during this time. The volume contains a comprehensive Bibliography of E.G. Stanley''s publications, together with an account of his distinguished career.Trade ReviewThere are some important and substantial items in it which push the study of Old and early Middle English language and literature forward in significant ways. * Review of English Studies. *...this wide-ranging volume, worthily reflecting the many interests of the volume's dedicatee... * Godden p358 *Its contributors ... often make use of the research tools built up on the brick-by-brick method here approved * T.A. Shippey, Saint Louis University, Modern Languages Review, Vol. 92, Part 1, 1997 *One fact that constantly emerges throughout these interesting and well-written pieces is the growing significance of the important work on Old English vocabulary being done at the University of Toronto, particularly the microfiche concordance. It is heart-warming to notice the effect on broader scholarship of such vital projects. * English Language Notes, December 1996 *Table of ContentsDid Grendel's mother sit on Beowulf?, Fred C.

Taylor & Francis The History of English
Book SynopsisThe History of English provides an accessible introduction to the changes that English has undergone from its Indo-European beginnings to the present day. The text looks at the major periods in the history of English, and provides for each a socio-historical context, an overview of the relevant major linguistic changes, and also focuses on an area of current research interest, either in sociolinguistics or in literary studies. Exercises and activities that allow the reader to get 'hands-on' with different stages of the language, as well as with the concepts of language change, are also included. By explaining language change with close reference to literary and other textual examples and emphasising the integral link between a language and its society, this text is especially useful for students of literature as well as linguistics.Trade ReviewSingh's book is a refreshing departure from the traditional history of English textbooks. It does not simply convey 'facts' to students but shows them how to think about those 'facts'. It covers the traditional areas but also places them in context and shows how different perspectives are possible ... For students who already have a basic grasp of linguistics, this is in my view the best history of English textbook on the market.

Taylor & Francis Studying Fiction A Guide for Teachers and
Book SynopsisStudying Fiction provides a clear rationale alongside ideas and methods for teaching literature in schools from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Written by experienced linguists, teachers and researchers, it offers an overview of recent studies on reading and the mind, providing a detailed guide to concepts such as attention, knowledge, empathy, immersion, authorial intention, characterisation and social justice.The book synthesises research from cognitive linguistics in an applied way so that teachers and those researching English in education can consider ways to approach literary reading in the classroom. Each chapter: draws on the latest research in cognitive stylistics and cognitive poetics; discusses a range of ideas related to the whole experience of conceptualising teaching fiction in the classroom and enacting it through practice; provides activities and reflection exercises for the practitioner; encourages engagement with important issues such as social justice, emotion and curriculum design. Together with detailed suggestions for further reading and a guide to available resources, this is an essential guide for all secondary English teachers as well as those teaching and researching in primary and undergraduate phases.Trade Review‘This book made me think more clearly about how the students in my class encounter literary texts and articulated the important distinction between giving my students authentic reading experiences and teaching them about a particular book. The book poses some difficult and interesting questions about the way we present literature to our students and the very particular practice of classroom reading. The book is especially useful in helping to unpick and make sense of the complexity of reading in the classroom and helping the reader to do the same within their own context. Whilst there are numerous texts on how to teach reading in primary schools, as a secondary teacher I found this refreshing and thought provoking as well as useful in offering ways of reflecting on my teaching myself and with my department.’Myfanwy Edwards, Curriculum Leader for English, Richmond Upon Thames School, UK‘In what can only be described as a highly sophisticated exploration of the reader experience, Mason and Giovanelli guide the reader through the extraordinary journey of our interaction with fiction. Studying Fiction sets about tackling the complexities of text engagement: from authorial intent, through to the moment we decide to take a book in our hands for the very first time, both writers scrutinise the process in which we make meaning from texts, and how in turn, they nourish our future selves. Far more than a framework for reading within the classroom, Studying Fiction puts forward contemplations around how we form relationships with fiction: from the deliberations at play during the decision to read a book, to the emotional undertaking as we grieve for our fictional favourites, Studying Fiction enables the reader to understand what it means to read, providing teachers with the necessary comprehension to teach reading as a thing of beauty, beyond the constraint of an examination paper. An essential read for any teacher who wants to actualise just how powerful reading fiction can be.’Kat Howard, Assistant Principal, The Duston School, Northampton, UK‘In this book Mason and Giovanelli offer a cogent and engaging discussion of what it means to study, teach and read fiction. Drawing on their own research and expertise, as well as pertinent research in the field, they skilfully align theory with practice, making this book a usable read and reference for university students, academics, and teachers alike. One of the most appealing parts of this book is how the authors’ passion for English and education emanates from each chapter and is then channelled into a series of useful reflections and activities in each chapter section, bolstered with key takeaway points throughout. This book is a rare find that bridges theory and practice in an accessibly academic way, even going as far as to rationalise and provide a solution to the bane of every English teacher’s life: This makes the reader want to read on.’Ben West, Achievement Lead and Teacher of English, The Garibaldi School, Mansfield, UKTable of ContentsChapter 1.
