Description

Explore the evolution of English dictionary making in this scholarly collection from Routledge. While Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language is often cited as the first English dictionary, this volume examines the actual history and the flourishing tradition of lexicography that preceded him. Through various essays and articles, readers can investigate the works of Kersey, Bailey, and Martin. The text also covers the contemporary trade in technical and encyclopedic works during the eighteenth century. This volume provides a deep look into how the era shaped our modern understanding of what a dictionary is and the historical context of the writers who built the foundation of the English language.
