설명

The legendary Oxford English Dictionary today contains over 600000 words and a staggering 2500000 quotations to illuminate the meaning and history of those words. A glorious bursting treasurehouse the OED serves as guardian of the literary jewels of the past a testament to the richness of the English language today and a guarantor of future understanding of the language. In this book Charlotte Brewer begins her account of the OED at the point where others have stopped the publication of the final installment of the first edition in 1928 and carries it through to the metamorphosis of the dictionary into a twentyfirstcentury electronic medium. Brewer describes the difficulties of keeping the OED up to date over time and recounts the recurring debates over finances treatment of contentious words public vs scholarly expectations proper sources of quotations and changing editorial practices. With humour and empathy she portrays the predilections and personalities of the editors publishers and assistants who undertook the Sisyphean task of keeping apace with the modern explosion of vocabulary. Utilising rich archives in Oxford as well as new electronic resources the author uncovers a history no less complex and fascinating than the Oxford English Dictionary itself. This is an enthralling account of the personalities and events that shaped the history of the OED. Charlotte Brewer illuminates the commercial realities of dictionarymaking as well as the hopes worries and working practices of those who compiled and administered the project. This sympathetic yet judicious biography of a book is a major contribution to lexical historiography and a delight to read. David Crystal Charlotte Brewer is a fellow of Hertford College Oxford and lecturer in English at Oxford University. Since 2000 she has been researching the history of the OED.
