A compelling history of the national conflicts that resulted from
efforts to produce the first definitive American dictionary of
English The Dictionary Wars recounts the patriotic fervor in the
early American republic to produce a definitive national dictionary
that would rival Samuel Johnson's 1755 Dictionary of the English
Language. But what began as a cultural war of independence from
Britain devolved into a battle among lexicographers, authors,
scholars, and publishers, all vying for dictionary supremacy and
shattering forever the dream of a unified American language. Peter
Martin tells of the intense rivalry between America's first
lexicographers, Noah Webster and Joseph Emerson Worcester, and how
their conflict continued beyond Webster's death, when the ambitious
Merriam brothers acquired publishing rights to Webster's American
Dictionary. The dictionary wars also engaged America's colleges,
libraries, newspapers, religious groups, and state legislatures at
a pivotal historical moment that coincided with rising literacy and
the print revolution. Delving into personal stories and national
debates, The Dictionary Wars examines the linguistic struggles that
underpinned the founding and growth of a nation.
Using a rich assortment of illustrations and biographical
sketches, Peter Martin relates the experiences of colonial
gardeners who shaped the natural beauty of Virginia's wilderness
into varied displays of elegance. He shows that ornamental
gardening was a scientific, aesthetic, and cultural enterprise that
thoroughly engaged some of the leading figures of the period,
including the British governors at Williamsburg and the great
plantation owners George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, William
Byrd, and John Custis. In presenting accounts of their gardening
efforts, Martin reveals the intricacies of colonial garden design,
plant searches, and experimentation, as well as the problems in
adapting European landscaping ideas to local climate. The Pleasure
Gardens of Virginia also brings to life the social and commercial
interaction between Williamsburg and the plantations, and examines
early American ideas about gracious living.
While placing Virginia's garden tradition within the larger
context of that of the colonial South, Martin tells a very human
story of how this art both influenced and reflected the quality of
colonial life. As Virginia grew economically and culturally, the
garden became a projection of the gardener's personal identity, as
exemplified by the endeavors of Washington at Mount Vernon and
Jefferson at Monticello. Martin draws upon both pictorial
representations and the findings of modern archaeological
excavations in order to recapture the gardens as they existed in
colonial times.
A compelling history of the national conflicts that resulted from
efforts to produce the first definitive American dictionary of
English In The Dictionary Wars, Peter Martin recounts the patriotic
fervor in the early American republic to produce a definitive
national dictionary that would rival Samuel Johnson's 1755
Dictionary of the English Language. But what began as a cultural
war of independence from Britain devolved into a battle among
lexicographers, authors, scholars, and publishers, all vying for
dictionary supremacy and shattering forever the dream of a unified
American language. The overwhelming questions in the dictionary
wars involved which and whose English was truly American and
whether a dictionary of English should attempt to be American at
all, independent from Britain. Martin tells the human story of the
intense rivalry between America's first lexicographers, Noah
Webster and Joseph Emerson Worcester, who fought over who could
best represent the soul and identity of American culture. Webster
believed an American dictionary, like the American language, ought
to be informed by the nation's republican principles, but Worcester
thought that such language reforms were reckless and went too far.
Their conflict continued beyond Webster's death, when the ambitious
Merriam brothers acquired publishing rights to Webster's American
Dictionary and launched their own language wars. From the beginning
of the nineteenth century to the end of the Civil War, the
dictionary wars also engaged America's colleges, libraries,
newspapers, religious groups, and state legislatures at a pivotal
historical moment that coincided with rising literacy and the print
revolution. Delving into the personal stories and national debates
that arose from the conflicts surrounding America's first
dictionaries, The Dictionary Wars examines the linguistic struggles
that underpinned the founding and growth of a nation.
