About this event
TVCRI Book Club:
"The Dictionary People: The Unsung Heroes Who Created the Oxford English Dictionary" by Sarah Ogilvie
The TVC Book Club discusses “The Dictionary People: The Unsung Heroes Who Created the Oxford English Dictionary” (2023) by Sarah Ogilvie.
The book examines the volunteer contributors who responded to public appeals by the Oxford English Dictionary for words. After finding address books that had belonged to editor James Murray in the basement archive of the Oxford University Press, Ogilvie conducted research into the identities of the contributors. Murray's address books, combined with those of founding editor Frederick Furnivall, included the names of some 3000 volunteers alongside the words they had submitted quotations for and which books they had used.
