Annotation -

The seminar will focus on reading and analysis of selected Old, Middle and Early Modern texts. Each text is presented as a
self-contained whole with a glossary, philological commentary and basic information on its literary background. The aim of
the seminar is a) to provide students of the history of the language with a wider empirical basis; b) to encourage the students
who aim to pursue their study of historical linguistics and/or English medieval literature to develop a firmer philological grasp
of medieval English.
