Product Description

Product Description

An annotated guide to quotations, this textbook provides a collection of the most familiar sayings in the English-speaking world. It looks in particular at those quotations whose origins are disputed or which exist in variant forms, highlighting popular misconceptions and misquotations.


From the Author

The first quotation finder that is ALL footnotes.
This book is the culmination of over 20 years exploring the stories behind quotations that I have done for a BBC radio program I write and present called QUOTE ... UNQUOTE. It also reflects the great amount of help I have received from readers of my quarterly QUOTE ... UNQUOTE Newsletter - tracking down lost quotations and discussing origins. I believe it to be the first detailed book of - and about - quotations - if you like, it is all footnotes - giving the context and the background that most dictionaries of quotes leave out. Like all my other reference books it is based very much on the feedback I receive from readers. END
