The most complete book related to linguistics in the Early Modern English period that you can find. Terttu not only contextualizes the processes that English is undergoing, but also gives a clear background of society and its direct impact on language, as well as a very detailed explanation of the massive role played by Latin and how English nativizes Latinisms, among other things.
A masterpiece.

I'm obviously not adding every single academic article I read, but whole books? why not. they are after all stealing my time to actually read fiction/non-fiction that interests me. but, pretty good overview of the topic, allowing me to not really take part in the seminar and hopefully still slaying tuesday's exam
