Anotácia knihy

Between 1380 and 1611 English social life and the English language changed dramatically. Time-Bound Words argues that these changes are woven together, often in surprising ways, since discourse both records and influences how people imagine and react to the word. To investigate this claim in some detail, the book follows eleven words from Chaucer's time to Shakespeare's. Middle English words like corage, estat, fre, thrift and virtA' come to serve the logic of new social discourses by 1611. Time-Bound Words documents general patterns of usage, gathering evidence from many kinds of texts, lapidaries as well as poems, but also acknowledging the power of certain texts to constitute meaning. Language from Chaucer, Wyclif, More, Tyndale, Spenser, Sidney, Shakespeare, Jonson and others is examined both as current and emerging usage, and as verbal play that accomplishes cultural work.
