Otto Jespersen: Collected English Writings
About the Book Series
Otto Jespersen is one of the foremost philologists of recent times.

This set offers an unprecedented opportunity to own all of his most influential works written in English in one superb collection. It includes his much referenced 'Modern English Grammar', 'The Philosophy of Grammar', 'How to Teach a Foreign Language', as well as a tome documenting his own constructed language 'Novial Lexike.'
