Walter W. Skeat Knihy

    Walter William Skeat bol anglický filológ, ktorý sa venoval štúdiu starších foriem angličtiny. Jeho práce sa sústredila predovšetkým na stredovekú angličtinu, kde vykonal rozsiahle edičné práce. Skeat je známy svojimi štandardnými vydaniami diel autorov ako Chaucer a Langland, ktoré priblížil širšiemu publiku. Jeho lingvistický prínos spočíva v precíznej práci s textami a v hlbokom porozumení historického vývoja jazyka.
