Learning Languages in Early Modern England
Gallagher, John (Lecturer in Early Modern History, Lecturer in Early Modern History, University of Leeds)
In the early-modern period, the English language was practically unknown outside of Britain and Ireland, so the English who wanted to travel and trade with the wider world had to become language-learners. John Gallagher explores who learned foreign languages in this period, how they did so, and what they did with the competence they acquired.
