Rezensionen

Singh'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.
