know your englishes
i was just talking to a friend about how we have to have this conversation every single quarter that we teach, so i pass it on to you. shakespeare is not old english! chaucer is not old english!!
old english
also called anglo-saxon
in use from around 400 to around 1066 (the norman conquest) in england and parts of scotland during the early middle ages.
most popular example: beowulf (see it written)
looks the least like modern english:
“Hwaet, we gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!”
if it looks like it could be the name of a field or military group in Rohan, it’s probably OE
middle english
in use from 1066 to the early 1500s (along with french & latin) during the late middle ages.
most popular example: chaucer’s canterbury tales (see it written)
A knyght ther was, and that a worthy man,
That fro the tyme that he first bigan
To riden out, he loved chivalrie,
Trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisie…”
will have recognizable words. read it out loud if you’re struggling.
still no standardized spelling. or dictionaries. soz. we’re getting there.
just straight-up regular english
in use from the 1500s until now.
that means shakespeare and james joyce and jk rowling are all grouped under the same language umbrella
reread that. shakespeare is tough and uses english differently than we’re used to, but he is not old english! he is, for the purposes of labelling, modern english.
if you are feeling super picky you can label his work as “early modern english” (”early modern” being the period between 1500 and 1700ish) but tbh that’s a fairly arbitrary distinction.
