Regionalism in Late Medieval Manuscripts and Texts was the theme of the fifth York Manuscripts Conference, held at the University of York in July 1989, which celebrated the publication of A Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English, a major research tool for English medievalists. The York conference brought together dialectologists, codicologists, editors, literary scholars and historians whose work engages in very diverse ways with aspects of regionalism in the Middle Ages. This volume is a selection of 12 papers given on that occasion. It includes important contributions from four of the editors of the Linguistic Atlas.

The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.
