The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary
Simon WinchesterIn The Meaning of Everything, Simon Winchester celebrates this remarkable feat, & the fascinating characters who played such a vital part in its execution, from the colourful Frederick Furnivall, cheerful promoter of an all-female sculling crew, to James Murray, self-educated son of a draper, who spent half a century guiding the project towards fruition. Along the way, we learn which dictionary editor became the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's Ratty in The Wind in the Willows, & why Tolkien found it so hard to define “walrus.”
Written by the bestselling author of The Surgeon of Crowthorne & The Map That Changed the World, The Meaning of Everything is an enthralling account of the creation of the world's greatest dictionary.
