Paperback. Zustand: Good. 222 pages. cover worn, text tanned Can a bomb ever be clean? Are we relieved to be warned that there will be a n odor when once we were told that something would stink? Or when is a euphe mism a mark of good taste and when is it a sign of verbal obfuscation? To answer such questions, Enright invited 16…distinguished writers to ponder and explore the ubiquitous phenomenon of euphemism. The result is a delightful and provocati ve collection that not only includes general reflections on euphemism and its hi story but also treats such specific categories as sex, death, and other natural functions; politics; the language of the great Christian texts; euphemisms spoke n to and by children; the law; medicine; office life; and the jargon of official spokesmen, military communiques, and tyrants. Such writers as Diane Johnson, Ro bert Nisbet, John Gross, Robert Burchfield, and Joseph Epstein bring a variety o f perspectives and sensibilities to bear on these topics. Because euphemisms are so intimate and integral to our thinking, any study of them is bound to throw l ight on the human condition, both past and present. Humor here jostles horror an d the homely alternates with the farfetched. Taken together they form an eloquen t and often amusing testament to the richness of the subject. Contents: Mother o r maid? An introduction / D.J. Enright -- An outline history of euphemisms in En glish / Robert Burchfield -- Euphemisms in Greece and Rome / Jasper Griffin -- S oft soap and the nitty-gritty / Robert M. Adams -- Sex and euphemism / Joseph Ep stein -- Euphemism and argot in France / Richard Cobb -- Euphemisms and children / Catherine Storr -- In the office / Jeremy Lewis -- Elizabeth Bennet's fine ey es / Patricia Beer -- Euphemisms and the media / Derwent May -- The law / David.
