“Above all, A Grammar of Old English. Volume 2: Morphology definitely serves its purpose as a work of reference. Its paragraphs are numbered separately and the inclusion of indexes of words as well as of subjects makes the work easy to consult. These features, combined with the undisputed quality of its contents, make this volume the reference work of choice for all Old English scholars and their overly ambitious students.” (English Studies, 1 October 2013
“Old English has a new authoritative grammar that will take its place as a reliable resource for decades to come and inspire more studies on the language. It is a striking accomplishment.” (English Language and Linguistics, 1 January 2013)
This second volume, the worthy culmination of a scholarly lifetime's work, is rich, dense, comprehensive - the best kind of traditional philology informed by modern linguistic theory.

R. D. Fulk has brought Richard Hogg's essential reference to
completion with care and thoroughness. Linguists and Old English
scholars will be able to gain access to the most important
scholarship on morphology via this book.
Peter Baker, University of Virginia
Along with its companion Phonology volume, Hogg and
Fulk's A Grammar of Old English: Morphology is a
foundational resource, clearly and meticulously organized,
unmatched in the depth and comprehensiveness of its access to the
linguistic heritage of early English. It combines a remarkably
thorough record of two centuries of intense scholarship with the
new perspectives of two truly outstanding
Anglo-Saxonists.
Donka Minkova, University of California, Los Angeles
Hogg and Fulk have taken a fresh look at a philological
record of fearsome complexity, delivering the most explicit and
comprehensive survey of Old English inflectional morphophonology to
date.Theoreticians will want to check their facts here.
