“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.
David Denison, University of Manchester

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.
Ricardo Bermúdez-Otero, University of Manchester
