raloveridge's review against another edition
4.0
Read (and I'm using the word "read" pretty loosely here) this for the class I'm auditing, "The English Language." I'm delighted by how engaging it is--best written reference book I've read, actually (I'm looking at you, [book:The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics]!).

Hello,
I am 17 and I'm a Spanish student who aims to study English Literature at University.
I've always asked myself things like: "What are the English accents like?; What does this English name come from?; How much did French language influenced over the English language?; Where could I find anything about the Old English literature (for instance: documents, songs, words...)? [...]"
What I didn't know was that it does exist an encyclopedia of such things!!!!
Although I'm Spanish, I think I wouldn't be wrong if I said to you that the author's handwriting is really nice; the way he expresses the concepts and ideas. I specially like the introductory part called "Preface". By reading that part, one has a previous and very illustrative idea of what one's going to find in the encyclopedia.
In a conclusion, I'd be pleased to express my gratitude for this encyclopedia to the author and all the collaborators who contributed with this project.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)
