Albert Croll Baugh (1891 – March 21, 1981) was a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, best known as the author of a textbook for History of the English language ("HEL" at U.S. universities). His ''A History of the English Language'' was first published in 1935 and praised as "worthy to take a place with the other great histories of single languages".〔〔 It was revised by Baugh for a second edition published in 1957 and it remains in print, edited by Thomas Cable (by Baugh and Cable from the third edition, 1978). Baugh was born in Philadelphia, earned his MA and PhD degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in that city, and taught in its English department from 1912, as a reader, to 1961.〔 His obituary in ''The New York Times'' mentioned his work on the "language and culture of the Middle Ages" alongside that on English language.〔 Baugh died at the university hospital in 1981 at age 90. He was survived by his wife, formerly Nita Scudder, and two sons.〔 ==Selected works== * ''A Literary History Of England'' (Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1948), editor — Baugh wrote the second of four parts, "The Middle English Period, 1100–1500"〔 ("A literary history of England" ).
