Abstract:

Can an author's preference for expressing modality be quantified and then used 
as a marker of attribution? This book explores the possibility of using the 
subjunctive mood as an indicator of style and a marker of authorship in Early 
Modern English texts. Using three works by the sixteenth-century biblical 
translator and polemicist, William Tyndale, Elizabeth Bell Canon establishes a 
predictable preference for certain types of modal expression. The theory of 
subjunctive use as a marker of attribution was then tested on the anonymous 
1533 English translation of Erasmus' Enchiridion Militis Christiani. Also included 
in this book is a modern English spelling version Tyndale's The Parable of the 
Wicked Mammon. 

The Author: Elizabeth Bell Canon holds a Ph.D. in linguistics from the 
University of Georgia. She is currently Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the 
University of Wisconsin at La Crosse.
