'''T. L. Burton''' (Thomas Lingen (Tom) Burton; born 1944) is an [[emeritus]] [[professor]] at the [[University of Adelaide]] and a reputed scholar of medieval English literature, language, and dialectics. He is the editor of the two volume ''[[Sidrak and Bokkus]]'', which once was one of the most popular books in [[Middle English]]. In addition to numerous publications on Middle English, Burton has also written books for a more general audience. He is a founding director of the [[Chaucer Studio]], a non-profit organization which produces recordings in period pronunciation of Middle English texts and makes these available as instructional aids. <br />
Burton's current research interest is in the poetry of [[William Barnes]]. He has written several articles on this subject, and regularly organises performances of Barnes' poetry in the poet's original Dorset dialect for the Adelaide Fringe Festival.<br />
<br />
Burton has won several major prizes for his teaching.<br />
