作者介紹 Tim William Machan, Mary Lee Duda Professor of Literature, University of Notre Dame Tim William Machan is the Mary Lee Duda Professor of Literature at the University of Notre Dame. Focusing on Norse, Latin, and French as well as English, his medieval scholarship has explored the cultural nuances of physical documents, literary conventions, translation, and multilingualism. In English linguistics, he has examined individual and institutional responses to language change, the shifting status of varieties of English, and the persistence of language attitudes. In English Begins at Jamestown (OUP 2022), he investigates the varying theoretical principles (and their practical consequences) that enable histories of language.
