The book deals with the development of descriptive models of English grammar writing during the Early Modern English period. For the first time, morphology and syntax as presented in Early Modern English grammars are systematically investigated as a whole. The statements of the contemporary grammarians are compared to hypotheses made in modern descriptions of Early Modern English and, where necessary, checked against the Early Modern English part of the Helsinki Corpus. Thus, a comprehensive overview of the characteristic features of Early Modern English is complemented by conclusions about the descriptive adequacy of Early Modern English grammars. It becomes evident that comments by contemporary authors occasionally reflect the corpus data more adequately than the statements found in modern secondary literature. This book is useful for (advanced) university students, as well as for scholars of English and grammarians in general.
Yet it was shown that Bullokar modifies the model in order to include typical
features of English. Examples are the description of adjectives or the reduction of
the number of genders. Compared to Bullokar' s grammar, Poole's work is a
faithful copy of Lily's which offers no room for the characteristics of the English
language. Poole's achievements are therefore to be regarded less highly than
Bullokar's 60 years before. The influence of Latin grammar is noticeable in the
majority of the ...
This book was first published in 2011. The Virgin Mary was one of the most powerful images of the Middle Ages, central to people's experience of Christianity. During the Reformation, however, many images of the Virgin were destroyed, as Protestantism rejected the way the medieval Church over-valued and sexualized Mary. Although increasingly marginalized in Protestant thought and practice, her traces and surprising transformations continued to haunt early modern England. Combining historical analysis and contemporary theory, including issues raised by psychoanalysis and feminist theology, Gary Waller examines the literature, theology and popular culture associated with Mary in the transition between late medieval and early modern England. He contrasts a variety of pre-Reformation texts and events, including popular mariology, poetry, tales, drama, pilgrimage and the emerging 'New Learning', with later sixteenth-century ruins, songs, ballads, Petrarchan poetry, the works of Shakespeare and other texts where the Virgin's presence or influence, sometimes surprisingly, can be found.

Rhetoric, political engagement and More's Utopia Thomas Wilson opened his
treatise on The Arte of Rhetorique (1553) – the first English manual of eloquence
to be arranged on classical lines – by drawing a distinction between 'infinite' and '
definite' questions. The former were abstract considerations, such as 'whether it
be best to marie, or to live single'. The latter focused on particulars; for example, '
whether now it be best here in Englande, for a Prieste to Marie, or to live single'.
