1st edition. "Reddick details the conception, composition, and writing of the Dictionary between the years 1746 and 1755, as well as the great revision of 1771-73. In the process, Reddick argues that the Dictionary does not reflect Johnson's final thoughts on a fixed language, but rather constitutes a text in flux, changed repeatedly throughout his lifetime, a reflection of Johnson's own troubled conviction that lexicography is a doomed and impossible, paradoxical endeavor." Pp.xiv/249, 6 black & white plates. Dark green cloth, dustwrapper has a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG.
