An Introduction to Middle English is designed to provide
undergraduate students of English historical linguistics with a
concise description of the language during the period 1100-1500.
Middle English, the language of Chaucer, is discussed in relation
to both earlier and later stages in the history of English, and in
relation to other languages with which it came into contact.
