Transition——between different language states, between different speakers, and different texts——proves a further enduring theme throughout the volume. While transitions in geographical space inform the diversities analysed in Chapters 2 and 4, for example, with their central focus on Old and Middle English respect-ively, it is the working-out of change in progress——-of transitions in usage-which preoccupies other chapters. The history of English is, in this sense, not a series of static states but, at each and every point in time, patterns of variation reveal the cross-currents of change, whether in the gradual marginalization or loss of older forms, alongside the rise of newer and incoming ones. Susan Irvine examines the strategic intersections of internal and external history in Anglo-Saxon England;Jeremy Smith explores the transitions of the fifteenth century in Chapter 5, a boundary between the conventionally designated 'Middle English' and that of'early modern English'. Terttu Nevalainen in Chapter 7 uses the evidence of letters and trials to examine a number of significant changes as they took place in the later years of the Renaissance.
