The Dictionary of Lost Words

Fine, clean book, no marks, appears unread. Pip Williams was inspired by the real history behind the Oxford English Dictionary and aimed to give voice to those whose experiences were often ignored in the historical record. The book has been praised for its rich historical detail, engaging storytelling, and exploration of how language both reflects and shapes society. It offers a unique perspective on the importance of words and their role in preserving-or erasing-the lives and contributions of everyday people, especially women.
