<p>“Above all, A Grammar of Old English. Volume 2: Morphology definitely serves its purpose as a work of reference. Its paragraphs are numbered separately and the inclusion of indexes of words as well as of subjects makes the work easy to consult. These features, combined with the undisputed quality of its contents, make this volume the reference work of choice for all Old English scholars and their overly ambitious students.”  (<i>English Studies</i>, 1 October 2013</p> <p>“Old English has a new authoritative grammar that will take its place as a reliable resource for decades to come and inspire more studies on the language.  It is a striking accomplishment.”  (<i>English Language and Linguistics,</i> 1 January 2013)</p> <p> </p>

The late <b>Richard M. Hogg</b> was Professor of English Language at the University of Manchester. He was the General Editor of the <i>Cambridge History of the English Language</i> and author, with C. B. McCully, of <i>Metrical Phonology: A Coursebook</i> (1987), and editor, with David Denison, of <i>A History of the English Language</i> (2008). <p><b>R. D. Fulk</b> is Chancellor's Professor of English at Indiana University. His books include <i>The Origins of Indo-European Quantitative Ablaut</i> (1986), <i>A History of Old English Meter</i> (1992), and as editor, with Robert E. Bjork and John D. Niles, <i>Klaeber's Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg, 4th Edition</i> (2008).</p>

<i>A Grammar of Old English, Volume II: Morphology</i> completes the two-volume analysis of the sounds and grammatical forms of the Old English language that began with Richard M. Hogg's highly regarded <i>Grammar of Old English: Phonology</i>. Initiated by Richard Hogg, and revised and completed by R.D. Fulk, this new volume incorporates insights derived from recent theoretical and technological advances, focusing on the morphological structure of Old English words. Most helpful in this regard is the use of digital resources, foremost of which are databases compiled by the <i>Dictionary of Old English</i> project at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Toronto</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>. Hogg and Fulk explore the separation of diachronic and synchronic considerations in the frequently complex analysis of noun morphology. This volume also includes extensive bibliographical coverage of Old English morphology, and consideration of recent controversies in Germanic linguistics, particularly in the treatment of verbs. <p/> <i>A Grammar of Old English, Volume II: Morphology</i> offers rich and rewarding insights into an important branch of linguistics relating to the development of an early form of the English language. This work, paired with the re-released <i>Volume 1</i>, is essential for scholars in the field.

This second volume, the worthy culmination of a scholarly lifetime's work, is rich, dense, comprehensive - the best kind of traditional philology informed by modern linguistic theory.<br /> <i>David Denison, University of Manchester</i><br /> <br /> <p>R. D. Fulk has brought Richard Hogg's essential reference to completion with care and thoroughness. Linguists and Old English scholars will be able to gain access to the most important scholarship on morphology via this book.<br /> <i>Peter Baker, University of Virginia</i></p> <p> Along with its companion <i>Phonology</i> volume, Hogg and Fulk's <i>A Grammar of Old English: Morphology</i> is a foundational resource, clearly and meticulously organized, unmatched in the depth and comprehensiveness of its access to the linguistic heritage of early English. It combines a remarkably thorough record of two centuries of intense scholarship with the new perspectives of two truly outstanding Anglo-Saxonists. <br /> <i>Donka Minkova, University of California, Los Angeles</i></p> <p> Hogg and Fulk have taken a fresh look at a philological record of fearsome complexity, delivering the most explicit and comprehensive survey of Old English inflectional morphophonology to date.Theoreticians will want to check their facts here.<br /> <i>Ricardo Bermúdez-Otero, University of Manchester</i></p>
