2003115295Oxford: Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A Fine first printing of the first edition in alike dust-wrapper; From the dust jacket "Writing with marvelous brio Winchester first serves up a lightning history of the English language--"so vast so sprawling so wonderfully unwieldy"--and pays homage to the great dictionary makers from "the irredeemably famous" Samuel Johnson to the "short pale smug and boastful" schoolmaster from New Hartford Noah Webster. He then turns his unmatched talent for story-telling to the making of this most venerable of dictionaries. In this fast-paced narrative the reader will discover lively portraits of such key figures as the brilliant but tubercular first editor Herbert Coleridge grandson of the poet the colorful boisterous Frederick Furnivall who left the project in a shambles and James Augustus Henry Murray who spent a half-century bringing the project to fruition. Winchester lovingly describes the nuts-and-bolts of dictionary making--how unexpectedly tricky the dictionary entry for marzipan was or how fraternity turned out so much longer and monkey so much more ancient than anticipated--and how bondmaid was left out completely its slips found lurking under a pile of books long after the B-volume had gone to press. We visit the ugly corrugated iron structure that Murray grandly dubbed the Scriptorium--the Scrippy or the Shed as locals called it--and meet some of the legion of volunteers from Fitzedward Hall a bitter hermit obsessively devoted to the OED to W. C. Minor whose story is one of dangerous madness ineluctable sadness and ultimate redemption."; 8vo; xxvi 260 pages; 6 . Oxford University Press hardcover
