Abstract:
This book deals with monolingual English dictionaries from 1604 to 1702. The
major scholarly reference works which individually treat early English
dictionaries are De Witt Starnes and Gertrude Noyes’s English Dictionary from
Cawdrey to Johnson: 1604–1755 (1946) and The Oxford History of English
Lexicography (2009) edited by A. P. Cowie. However, when we proceed with
reading the dictionaries with primary attention to their provision of lexical
information, an array of deficiencies in Starnes and Noyes’s account stands
out. There are two main reasons for these deficiencies; one is the fact that
Starnes and Noyes’s analyses of the dictionaries are mainly made in accordance
with the contents of their title pages and introductory materials, and the
other is that the two authorities are excessively conscious of the external
history of the dictionaries they discuss. The method of investigation of the
dictionaries in this book differs greatly from these previous studies. Through
it, various facts, which have been unnoticed for centuries, come to be
revealed, including not only an array of historically significant methods for
the lexical treatment of words and phrases, but also the highly creative use
of other dictionaries in one specific dictionary, as well as the previously
unrecognized direct and indirect influence of one dictionary on others.
