This book is on English historical linguistics. It deals with the history of sounds and spellings (e.g. Old English runes), words and phrases, conjunctions, relative clauses, impersonal and passive constructions. It sheds light on the use of English dialects in literature, the importance of J.R.R. Tolkien, and Chinese translations of Beowulf.
