About this Event:
What do we gain from republishing curious old dictionaries? Well – quite a lot. John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, takes another look at A Dictionary of the Canting Crew (1699) and wonders whether the editor captured the concerns of the 17th-century Londoner or sensationalised his subject matter for the popular readership of the day.
Presented by The Bodleian Library
