This book is the first critical edition of White Kennett's
Etymologicon Anglicanum (British Library, MS Lansdowne 1033), a
long forgotten etymological compilation of the late 1690s with a
substantial amount of regional dialect material. The work drew the
attention of dialect lexicographers of the nineteenth century, such
as Joseph Wright, and serves as documentary evidence for the OED.
This new scholarly edition of Kennett's glossary is divided into
two parts. The first includes a detailed introduction that situates
Kennett in the context of his time and of historical antiquarian
scholarship. Javier Ruano-Garcia also describes the manuscript and
Kennett's method, paying close attention to the regional dialect
element and its lasting lexicographical impact. Part II contains
the annotated edition of the text with a substantial commentary on
its dialect material. The edition also offers a critical apparatus
that records Kennett's many alterations to the glossary so that
readers are able to see him at work and make sense of the process
of compilation.
