'This valuable collections of essays examines the significance of the speech act in representative areas of medieval literature [...] The editor proposes to bring together the disciplines of linguistics and literature, and her introduction makes an important contribution to the application of sociolinguistics to literary analysis. [...] The volume makes a rich contribution to the important question of literary speech, which has implications for our understanding of literary craft, class, gender, linguistic consciousness, power, and modes of argument in medieval literature.' Laurie Shepard, Sixteenth Century Journal, XXXVI/4, 2005
