The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) holds
a cherished position in English literary
culture. Indisputably the greatest dictionary
in the language, its creation has become a
story of popular fascination. This book looks
at the history of the great first edition of
1928,
and at the men (and occasionally
women) who distilled words and usages from
centuries of English writing to capture the
spirit of a civilization.
The task of the dictionary was to bear full
and impartial witness to the language it
recorded. But behind the immaculate
typography of the finished text, the proofs
tell a very different story. This vast archive,
unexamined until now, reveals the arguments
and controversies over meanings, definitions
and pronunciation, and over which words
and senses were acceptable
-
and which were
not.
Lost for Words uncovers the enthralling
process by which the great dictionary came
into being, tracing
-
through letters and
archives
-
the personal battles involved in
charting a constantly changing language.
Seeking to determine correct usage, the
lexicographers reveal themselves vulnerable
to the prejudices of their own linguistic
preferences and to the influence
oí
contemporary
social historv.
