History and Development of Prose Style by John F. Tinkler 英国散文流变 This is a listing of links to electronic texts, for use in Towson Universitys graduate course in History and Development of Prose Style. All but one of the readings are short excerpts that I have transcribed myself. I make absolutely no claim for their accuracy. It is a work in progress, intended as an ad hoc teaching resource, and prepared in the absence of an adequate published anthology. It is currently supplemented in my course by the Oxford Book of Essays and by library resources. As a result, many obvious selections are not included here, and in general there are fewer selections from later periods that are more adequately covered elsewhere. If you have suggestions or recommendations, please e-mail me at jtinkler@towson.edu. CONTENTS Part 1: Old English 1 [King] Alfred [871-901]. 1 Part 2: The Middle Ages (To 1500) 10 The Life Of Saint Juliana [C 1200?] 10 Richard Rolle [1340s].
