Isbn: 9780754656944 - Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers: Volume 5: the Eighteenth Century (12 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First edition. A very presentable copy with minimal wear. No dust jacket. Cover shows slight signs of use, but is unmarked and undamaged. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Publisher's note: The eighteenth century is renowned for the publication of Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language, which reference sources still call the first English dictionary. This collection demonstrates the inaccuracy of that claim, but its tenacity in the public mind testifies to how decisively Johnson formed our sense of what a dictionary is. The essays and articles in this volume examine the already flourishing tradition of English lexicography from which Johnson drew, as represented by Kersey, Bailey, and Martin, as well as the flourishing contemporary trade in encyclopedic, technical, pronunciation, and bilingual lexicons.
