Three major developments in English lexicography took place during
the seventeenth century: the emergence of the first free standing
monolingual English dictionaries; the making of new kinds of
English lexicons that investigated dialect or etymology or that
keyed English to invented 'philosophical' languages; and the
massive expansion of bilingual lexicography, which not only placed
English alongside the European vernaculars but also handled the
languages of the new world. The essays in this volume discuss not
only the internal history of lexicography but also its wider
relationships with culture and society.
