Bell House brings you a recording of an online talk by leading writer and lecturer on the English language, David Crystal. • The talk illustrates the development of pronunciation from Old English (Beowulf) through Middle English (Chaucer) to Early Modern English (Shakespeare), and explains the sources of evidence that have been used to reconstruct 'original pronunciations’. • Originally planned as a face-to-face event at Bell House in March, we were pleased that David joined us online on Thursday 18th June. • Find us elsewhere! • → / bellhousenews • → / bellhousedulwich • → http://www.bellhouse.co.uk/ • Sign up to our mailing list to get full details of the latest offerings: • → https://bellhouse.us15.list-manage.co... • Bell House is an educational charity that offers support outside the mainstream school curriculum, lifelong learning, short courses, exhibitions, talks, and musical events.
