Focused on historical linguistics, not on reading Middle English October 20, 2006

Horobin, Simon and Jeremy Smith. An Introduction to Middle English. London: Oxford UP, 2002. [ISBN 0195219503]
A better title for this book would have been "An Introduction to Middle English Linguistics." It is not an introduction to reading the language of Chaucer and the Gawain poet, which is what I thought I was buying. On the contrary, the book seems to assume the reader can already read Middle English. The book is well-written and well formatted, so if historical linguistics does happen to be your focus, Horobin and Smith is probably a good choice. But if merely reading the literature, not studying linguistics, is your goal, don't get this book.
