Summary

In 'The Evolution of English Lexicography', James Augustus Henry Sir Murray delves deep into the history and development of English dictionaries. This scholarly work explores the evolution of language and how it has been recorded and defined through the ages. Murray's meticulous research and attention to detail make this book a valuable resource for linguists and language enthusiasts alike. The book not only traces the origins of the English language but also offers insights into the cultural and social influences that have shaped its lexicon over time. James Augustus Henry Sir Murray, a renowned lexicographer himself, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this study. His background working on the Oxford English Dictionary gives him a unique perspective on the subject matter, allowing him to provide in-depth analysis and interpretations of the evolution of lexicography. I highly recommend 'The Evolution of English Lexicography' to anyone interested in the history of language and dictionaries. Murray's comprehensive survey of the subject is sure to enlighten and fascinate readers with its exploration of how words are defined and cataloged in the English language.

    The Pulitzer Prize-winning author "shares his insights into—and passion for—the creation and experience of fiction with total openness" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Robert Olen Butler, author of Perfume River, A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, and A Small Hotel, teaches graduate fiction at Florida State University—his version of literary boot camp. In From Where You Dream, Butler reimagines the process of writing as emotional rather than intellectual and tells writers how to achieve the dream space necessary for composing honest, inspired fiction. Proposing that fiction is the exploration of the human condition with yearning as its compass, Butler reinterprets the traditional tools of the craft using the dynamics of desire. Offering a direct view into the mind and craft of a literary master, From Where You Dream is an invaluable tool for the novice and experienced writer alike. "Incisive and provocative, Butler's tutorials are a must for anyone even thinking about writing fiction, and readers, too, will benefit from his passionate exhortations." —Booklist
