Despite\u003cbr\u003econtinuous modification and updating, it is still recognizably a Victorian creation; at the same time, however, it carries undiminished authority both for its account of the Greek language and for its system of organizing and presenting linguistic data. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present volume brings together essays by twenty-two scholars on all aspects of the history, constitution, and problematics of this extraordinary work, enabling the reader both to understand its complex history and to appreciate it as a monument to the challenges and pitfalls of classical\u003cbr\u003escholarship. The contributors have combined a variety of approaches and methodologies - historical, philological, theoretical - in order to situate the book within the various disciplines to which it is relevant, from semantics, lexicography, and historical linguistics, to literary theory, Victorian\u003cbr\u003estudies, and the history of the book. Paying tribute to the \u003cem\u003eLexicon\u003c\/em\u003e's enormous effect on the evolving theory and practice of lexicography, it also includes a section looking forward to new developments in dictionary-making in the digital age, bringing comprehensively up to date the question of what\u003cbr\u003ethe future holds for this fascinating and perplexing monument to the challenges of understanding an ancient language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Stray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198810803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Stray, \u003cem\u003eHonorary Research Fellow, Department of Classics, Ancient History, and Egyptology, Swansea University\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Clarke, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Classics, National University of Ireland, Galway\u003c\/em\u003e, Joshua T.

He has held visiting positions at Wolfson College, Cambridge; the Beinecke Library, Yale University; and at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He works on the\u003cbr\u003ehistory and sociology of classical teaching and learning at school and university level, and has also published on examinations, institutional slang, and textbooks. He contributed three chapters to the \u003cem\u003eHistory of Oxford University Press\u003c\/em\u003e, and is currently working on contributions to a forthcoming\u003cbr\u003ehistory of Trinity College, Cambridge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Clarke is Professor of Classics at the National University of Ireland, Galway. His early research was closely focused on Homeric epic, with publications including \u003cem\u003eFlesh and Spirit in the Songs of Homer\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2000). Since that time he has pursued two complementary research directions: \u003cbr\u003ehistorical semantics and language change on the one hand and comparative approaches to epic and myth on the other. He is the author of numerous studies of classical influences on medieval literatures, and is working on a long-term study of \u003cem\u003eTogail Troi\u003c\/em\u003e, the Middle Irish saga of the Trojan War. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua T. Katz is Cotsen Professor in the Humanities, Professor of Classics, and a member of the Program in Linguistics at Princeton University, where he has taught since 1998. A linguist by training, a classicist by profession, and a comparative philologist at heart, he has published widely in the\u003cbr\u003elanguages, literatures, and cultures of the ancient world, from India to Ireland via Greece, Rome, and the Near East. His recent work has concentrated on how Archaic Greek poems begin, as well as on the history and practice of wordplay, but he maintains an active interest in Vergil, etymology, and\u003cbr\u003ebadgers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39932110766195,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a1d6ee02-6a36-4d4f-b694-d1b4f843306d.jpg?v=1647790235","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/liddell-and-scott-the-history-methodology-and-languages-of-the-worlds-leading-lexicon-of-ancient-greek-9780198810803","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
