Guide to scripts used in English writings up to 1500

Front Cover
0 Reviews
British Library, 2005 - Foreign Language Study - 294 pages
Despite a resurgence of interest in the history of the English language there is currently no other book available to introduce readers to the scripts used in Old and Middle English writing. The best way to gain a sense of the changes in scripts across time is via visual example, and this book seeks to show the reader just why Middle English is different from Old English and at the same time to explain how the change is gradual. Important literary texts are illustrated to demonstrate the chronological progression of the writing, for example: Caedmon's Hymn; the opening of an Exeter Book poem; and the Lindisfarne Gospels.
