Beschreibung
Francis Grose's '1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue' is a comprehensive and entertaining collection of slang and vulgar language used in the streets of London during the early 19th century. Grose's witty and satirical style makes this dictionary not only informative but also amusing to read. The book provides valuable insight into the vernacular of the time, shedding light on societal norms and cultural practices. It serves as a linguistic time capsule, capturing the language of the lower classes in a period of great social change. Francis Grose, a British antiquarian and lexicographer, was known for his interest in the English language and its various dialects. His extensive research and dedication to preserving the language of the common people led him to compile this dictionary, which remains a valuable resource for scholars and language enthusiasts today. I highly recommend '1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue' to readers interested in historical linguistics, cultural studies, or simply curious about the colorful language of the past. Grose's work offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the richness and creativity of English slang.
