Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Occasional light underlining and marginalia in pencil throughout. Else fine. A nice reading copy in otherwise very good condition. The fifty-plus extant manuscripts of Piers Plowman have always posed a puzzle to editors and readers. This 1996 book is an account of the editions of the poem which have appeared since 1550, when it was first published by the protestant reformer Robert Crowley. It examines the circumstances in which the editions were produced, the lives and intellectual motivations of the editors, and the relationship between one edition and the next. Brewer places the work of W. W. Skeat at the centre of Piers Plowman editing, showing how he towered above his predecessors and determined the path subsequently taken by editors of the poem, and presents much new biographical information about this extraordinary man. She uses a wide range of published and previously unpublished material to explain the difficulties of editing and to shed light on attempts to crack one of the major editorial conundrums in medieval studies.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The legendary 'Oxford English Dictionary' today contains over 600,000 words and a staggering 2,500,000 quotations to illuminate the meaning and history of those words. A glorious, bursting treasure-house, 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 twenty-first-century 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 dictionary-making 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.…
