Transforming Early English shows how historical pragmatics can
offer a powerful explanatory framework for the changes medieval
English and Older Scots texts undergo, as they are transmitted over
time and space. The book argues that formal features such as
spelling, script and font, and punctuation - often neglected in
critical engagement with past texts - relate closely to dynamic,
shifting socio-cultural processes, imperatives and functions. This
theme is illustrated through numerous case-studies in textual
recuperation, ranging from the reinvention of Old English poetry
and prose in the later medieval and early modern periods, to the
eighteenth-century 'vernacular revival' of literature in Older
Scots.
