This study brings together many of the resources needed for the
exploration of English historical syntax and deals with many of the
important changes in English sentence structure from Old English to
present. It also features a survey of published research from both
classical and modern linguistic traditions, as well as new research by
the author. It provides guidance on methodology, important reference
materials, and the general history of the English language.
