Grammars, Grammarians and Grammar-Writing in Eighteenth-Century England

The bookfocusses on eighteenth-century English grammarians (male and female) and their work, and it deals in the fullest possible detail with their qualifications, their motivations, the context in which they wrote, their approaches to grammar, their pedagogical interests, the reception of their work, both in London and in the provinces, their readership, the marketing policies of their publishers, and their publication history.

Review:

with GGGW scholars and indeed students interested in Late Modern English are provided with an accurate and useful tool by means of wich both the internal and the ecternal history of the language can be studied simultaneously. Marina Dossena in: Journal of English Languages and Linguistics 3/2009?<
