Description
"The focus of this bibliography is on studies of individual Middle English words and groups of words which offer evidence for word meanings: ante- and post datings for the Oxford English Dictionary and the Middle English Dictionary, missing entries and ghost words, possible proverbs, proposals for etymologies, wordplay, punning, new readings in manuscripts and the reinterpretations of textual cruxes. The articles, essays and selected monographs surveyed were mostly published between 1950 and the late 1990s." "The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author's name and date of publication, together with brief annotations designed to give a flavour of the discussions. There are also indexes of words and authors."--Jacket.
