Editorial Reviews

Twenty-seven papers presented at the Early Modern English Conference, sponsored by the Institut fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik of the U, of Vienna, and held in Tulln, Austria, July 1991. Three further papers are added that were not presented in Tulln. The greatest number of papers are devoted to syntax in the widest sense, ranging from word order changes to the structure of the Verb Phrase and the use of pronouns. Among the specific topics: "Sumer is icumen in": the seasons of the year in Middle English; text deixis in Early Modern English; orthoepists and reformers; aspects of adverbial change in Early Modern English; and William Turner and the English plant names.
