Mark Amsler has taught medieval and comparative literature, linguistics, and writing at universities in the US and New Zealand. He is author of Etymology and Grammatical Discourse, Affective Literacies, and numerous essays on medieval literature, history of linguistics, English linguistics, and critical theory.

“[...] Amsler’s book offers a persuasive demonstration not only of the existence of a medieval pragmatics avant la lettre but also of the fresh analyses of familiar medieval texts that the terminology of modern pragmatics can facilitate.” - Rory G. Critten, Anglia, Vol. 140, Iss. 3-4 "[...] an interesting collection of case-studies under an over-arching thematic framework of Bakhtinian dialogism and pragmatics. [...] this is a hugely stimulating volume and I found myself constantly thinking of examples from within my own field which would benefit from these types of analysis." - Paul Russell, Language & History, Vol. 65, Iss. 2 "the book’s overall achievement... is to develop out of a winningly clear and detailed analysis of medieval linguistic thought a well-stocked toolkit for prising out the “pragmatic thinking” (Amsler’s apt phrase) embedded in literature, testimony, and life-writing" Christopher Cannon, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies, volume 98, number 2
