Dr. Lerer is undoubtedly one of the outstanding English language authorities of our time and a superb lecturer with an easy mastery of his subject matter.

He speaks Old and Middle English "like a native." Each of his lectures is entertaining yet clear, logical, and packed with content. His delivery is a performance.
