Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer is possibly the most popular Old English
textbook ever written, and with good reason. It is brief and
accessible without being unduly simplistic. Students will find that
the grammar and glossary make the sample texts far less daunting
than they might expect, and will give them the confidence to read
more widely in Old English. Henry Sweet (1845-1912) was a leading
expert on phonetics and Old English and was partly the basis for
the character of Henry Higgins in Shaw's Pygmalion. He was
appointed Reader in Phonetics at the University of Oxford in 1901.
