The English Language C L Wrenn ???To write a good small book on the English Language is an extremely difficult job.... Professor Wrenn???s study is far better than any of its predecessors... It would be an impertinence for an indolent reviewer to comment on the scholarship of the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, but one may perhaps venture to admire the vivacity and seriousness of his interest in modern English, and his conviction that the language should be studied historically in order that we may use it more intelligently today.??? ???The Cambridge Review
