English Grammar for Students of Latin
“Each chapter is self-contained, so that the order of topics may be altered to suit the arrangement of just about
any introductory Latin text. . . . this is a useful, carefully written, and well-edited text. It accomplishes its goals
and does so very efficiently.” — Modern Language Journal
“Teachers of Latin who believe that an essential aspect of their responsibility is to strengthen the student’s
understanding of the syntactical structures underlying his native language . . . will certainly wish to include
this unique new handbook . . . among the texts required in their elementary Latin classes . . .
Response from teachers and professors, as well as high-schoolers, undergraduates, and graduate students . . .
has been enormously enthusiastic: the volume has proven a valuable and much appreciated supplement
in our beginning Latin course at the University of Georgia. This little book really ought to be a
vade mecum for many of our elementary Latin students.” — The Classical Journal
“Because this handbook assumes no previous knowledge of grammar and because its explanations of
English forms and their Latin equivalents are clear and succinct, it is well suited to independent study . . .
the authors take the student step by step through a section of English grammar before
proceeding to an explanation of the Latin counterpart.” — Classical World
English Grammar for Students of Italian
“Throughout the book, the use of charts to summarize points presented is excellent. The authors have
taken care to indicate various pitfalls that students often do not avoid. . . . Exceptionally well presented
is the analysis of the English you and its Italian equivalents, tu, Lei, voi, Loro . . . the use of this book
as a supplement to a beginners’ textbook of Italian is recommended.” — Canadian Modern Language Journal
“The conceptual and visual presentation of the material is simple and clear. There are numerous diagrams and charts.
Although grammar points are isolated for the sake of presentation, there are many cross-references to related
terms, as well as a detailed index.” — Modern Language Journal
“. . . in view of its unique perspective and approach, its trenchant and effective explanations of grammatical
points, its easily grasped and easily remembered rules, and its distinctively revealing diagrams and examples,
it is hard to imagine a teaching situation, especially at the elementary level, to which Adorni and Primorac’s
English Grammar for Students of Italian would not make an invaluable contribution.” — Italica
English Grammar for Students of Russian
“Cruise’s book is one of the most welcome new publications to reach our field. It services its intended purpose
and is appreciated by students. The clear format and typesetting enhance its content.” — Slavic and East European Journal
