Old English is a companion to Old English studies and to historical studies of early English in general. It is also an introduction to Indo-European studies in the particular sense in which they underpin the history of English. Professor Roger Lass makes accessible in a linguistically up-to-date and readable form the Indo-European and Germanic background to Old English, as well as what can be reconstructed about the resulting state of Old English itself. His book is a bridge between the more elementary Old English grammars and the major philological grammars and recent interpretations of the Old English data.Old English assumes a basic knowledge of phonetics and phonology, the elements of syntactic and morphological theory, and an introduction to historical linguistics. An extensive glossary gives definitions of the major technical terms used.

Old English Furniture is a practical and wide-ranging guide to period furniture from the earliest times to the Regency. Each chapter concerns a specific type of furniture, from the more practical pieces, such as chairs, tables and beds, to the more decorative, including long-case clocks, bureaux and dressing-tables. The history and changing design of each article is explained and discussed. Therle Hughes offers extensive information about the materials, tools, and construction methods of each piece, which all reflect the period in which they were produced. The book contains many photographs and detailed line drawings assisting identification.
