Learning outcomes

The module aims at introducing students to the diachronic development of the English language, with a focus on the transition from orality to the written page with reference to early modern print culture.

Program

Programme: The module will follow the history of English with particular attention to linguistic variation in early modern texts. Linguistic instability in in-Quarto and in-Folio editions and its similarity with other text types (such as ballads and libels) will be taken as a case study in order to discuss the interaction between written and oral culture in the early print age.
