Book Synopsis
This reproduction of Visser’s volumes is more than welcome, and timely, as the volumes have been out of print for quite some time and were sometimes a little bit difficult to navigate. Having a searchable and easy-to-use online version, although maybe not perfect, available now means a revival for scholarship that celebrates its fiftieth birthday without losing any of its relevance.

Trade Review
"There can not be a doubt that all future writers on the history of English syntax will be deeply in Dr. Visser's debt." – Norman Davis, in: Review of English Studies (1966) "[...] wird der Visser das standardwerk auf dem Gebiet der historischen englischen Syntax werden und bleiben [...]." – Broder Carstensen, in: Die neueren Sprachen (1967) "[...] a work of exemplary scholarship [...] a notable contribution to a field that has long stood in need of exhaustive treatment." – Samuel R. Levin, in: Journal of English and Germanic Philology (1965)
