1.      Old English Grammar

2.     Old English Literature

1. Although there is quite a wide range of introductions to Old English, the details of its IndoEuropean ancestry are not generally included in the usual ‘standard handbooks’. We are interested in treatments of the linguistic past of Old English must either work their way through one of the traditional linguistic grammars of Old English such as e.g. Campbell’s Old English Grammar (1959) or be contented with introductory chapters on the ‘backgrounds’ of English in the more extensive historical introductions to the English language. For the dedicated researcher, Prokosch’s Comparative Germanic Grammar (1938) seems still to be the unchallenged classic.

This lecture is mainly based upon Lass’ Old English: A Historical Linguistic Companion (1994), which in a unique manner combines a keen interest in the impact of Indo-European issues on Old English with an introductory character and an easy readability.
