About This Book

An historical study tracing the teaching and use of French in England from the medieval period through Tudor and Stuart times, it surveys grammars and school treatises, the decline of Anglo-French and adoption of continental standards, the presence of French at court and in universities, and the careers of prominent tutors. It examines the impact of Protestant refugees and Huguenot teachers, the growth of French schools and textbooks, rivalries among practitioners, and classroom methods — reading, translation, pronunciation, and bilingual manuals — concluding with the linguistic and institutional changes up to the late seventeenth century.

The spared houres of a souldier in his travels, or The true marrowe of the French Tongue, wherein is truly treated (by ordre) the nine parts of speech, together with two rare and excellent bookes of Dialogues, the one presented to that illustrious prince Count Henry of Nassau, in his younger yeares for his Furtherance in this tongue, newly reviewed and put in pure French Phrase (easie and delightfull) from point to point; and the other formed and made (since) by the Authour himselfe. Added yet an excellent worke, very profitable for all the ages of man, called the Springwell of Honour and Vertue, gathered together very carefully, both by ancient and Moderne Philosophers of our Tyme. With many Godly songs, sonets, Theames, Letters missives, and sentences proverbiales: so orderly, plain and pertinent, as hath not (formerly) beene seene in the most famous Ile of great Britaine. By John Wodroephe, Gent. Les Heures de relasche. . . . Imprimé à Dort, Par Nicolas Vincentz, Pour George Waters, Marchant Libraire, demeurant près le Marché au Poisson, à l'Enseigne des Manchettes dorées. 1623.

3. Dialogues on French and English, fitted for all kind of discourse for courtiers, citizens, and countrymen, in their affairs at home or travelling abroad.
