Older Scots A Linguistic Reader (Paperback)

From the Publisher: This book is a resource on which all scholars interested in Older Scots can draw. It is interdisciplinary in ambition: those interested in literary form in Older Scottish literature will be provided with a 'kit' for stylistic analysis; book historians will appreciate the detailed studies offered here of processes of production and reception, and be reminded of the importance of integrating disciplines such as textual criticism, codicology, paleography and philology; and linguists will be given access to a body of up-to-date textual information which is hard to find in a single place. The book offers readers an extensive set of annotated texts that invite close engagement with the detail of the Older Scots language.
