    Reviews

    "Altogether, the reader provides a great overview of the historical dimensions related to a number of varieties of English. Its comprehensiveness and affordability make it a particularly attractive addition to personal and institutional libraries and it will surely find its place on recommended reading lists for courses on varieties of English in general and diachronic variety development more specifically. Individual chapters are also of relevance to courses related to the respective variety under consideration."
