Dear all,
a nice additional book aimed for musicians, covering the English OP
(with examples from Dowland) between 1500-1800, is Klaus Miehling ´s 2
volumes
"Handbuch der frühneuenglischen Aussprache für Musiker (1500-1800)"
Best,
Magnus

Hmmm. - " .....doth protest too much, methinks".
Crystal may, indeed, be 'a very respected scholar', but surely this
shouldn't bar others from addressing the matter. What's your own
perspective on the issue?
Incidentally, here's his website:

You obviously have NOT heard of David Crystal's OXFORD DICTIONARY
OF
ORIGINAL SHAKESPEAREAN PRONUNCIATION published by Oxford in 2016
(the
400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death). A very respected
scholar,
his son has become an expert on Shakespeare. David has authored
many
texts, including ones in his own fields of study. As David says,
"This
dictionary has been over ten years in the making. I downloaded an
electronic edition of the First Folio in December 2004, once it
became
apparent that the initiative of Shakespeare's Globe to present
plays
in
original pronunciation (OP) was going (forward)..."
You can see his son, Ben Crystal, wax eloquent on Shakespeare
through
several entries on YouTube. Ben Crystal is quite an accomplished
scholar & a visiting scholar the world around, including our own
USA.
And the book is the first OP production, Original Pronunciation
(which
is NOT the never-achievement it has for so long presumed to be!).
David
Crystal is remarkable!
I am tired of the incessant deluge of emails from some people that
should know better. They reveal their ignorance of a vital subject.
(May it be said that is does NOT apply only to Shakespeare!) More
restraint is urged!
From an old man (who hereby betrays his own considered silence).
