John Corbett
"John Joseph Corbett Junior (Wheeling, 9 mei 1961) is een Amerikaans acteur. Hij werd voor zijn bijrol als diskjockey Chris Stevens in de tragikomische serie Northern Exposure genomineerd voor zowel een Primetime Emmy Award (in 1992) als een Golden Globe (in 1993). Voor zijn rol als Sarah Jessica Parkers verloofde Aidan Shaw in de romantische komedieserie Sex and the City volgde in 2002 een tweede nominatie voor een Golden Globe. Corbett maakte in 1987 zijn film- en acteerdebuut met een klein rolletje in het misdaaddrama Someone to Watch Over Me. Corbett speelt inhoudelijk van elkaar verschillende rollen. Zo speelde hij in de romantische filmkomedie My Big Fat Greek Wedding een bruidegom die met een vrouw probeert te trouwen uit een nogal traditionele Griekse familie, in de misdaadfilm Street Kings een agent die lak heeft aan de regels en in de tragikomedie Raising Helen dan weer een pastoor. Wel speelt hij regelmatig mannelijke lust/liefdesobjecten.

Samenvatting
This simple introduction to Old English focuses on how the language works, using accessible illustrations from surviving texts and showing how features of present-day English have their roots in this stage of the language. As well as being updated, the new edition has been expanded to include a chapter on Old English prose and two additional texts.
This basic introduction to Old English is an essential guide for students with little or no linguistic knowledge. Unlike other textbooks on the subject, Beginning Old English focuses on the explanation and demonstration of how the language works, using accessible illustrations from simplified Old English texts and showing how many features of present-day English have their roots in this stage of the language. Beginning Old English - builds up reading skills by using simple texts to support the acquisition of key vocabulary and to develop awareness of language structure - offers an introduction to the conventions of Old English poetry and how they are realised across different genres: religious verse, riddles, elegies and heroic poetry - explores issues in the translation of Old English verse - guides the reader through four major texts: Cynewulf and Cyneheard, Beowulf (extract), The Battle of Maldon and The Dream of the Rood - features activities, glossaries, illustrations and a Further Reading section.
