The book deals with the development of descriptive models of
English grammar writing during the Early Modern English period. For
the first time, morphology and syntax as presented in Early Modern
English grammars are systematically investigated as a whole. The
statements of the contemporary grammarians are compared to
hypotheses made in modern descriptions of Early Modern English and,
where necessary, checked against the Early Modern English part of
the Helsinki Corpus. Thus, a comprehensive overview of the
characteristic features of Early Modern English is complemented by
conclusions about the descriptive adequacy of Early Modern English
grammars. It becomes evident that comments by contemporary authors
occasionally reflect the corpus data more adequately than the
statements found in modern secondary literature. This book is
useful for (advanced) university students, as well as for scholars
of English and grammarians in general.
