ref. 9788535915532COMPANHIA DE BOLSO. new. No sculo XVIII poca de descobertas cient�ficas e de expanso dos ideais iluministas a Inglaterra encontrava-se extremamente atrasada nos estudos da pr�pria l�ngua. Enquanto Frana Itlia e Alemanha j possu�am livros e instituies dedicados filologia autores como Daniel Defoe e Jonathan Swift eram obrigados a se virar sem um dicionrio que fixasse a l�ngua inglesa. Obras como o maravilhoso A dictionary of the English language 1755 de Samuel Johnson vieram suprir a falta prolongada desde os tempos de Shakespeare que no sculo XVI teve de escrever suas peas sem um nico livro ao qual pudesse recorrer para consultar a grafia ou o significado de uma palavra. Mas foi apenas no ano de 1857 em plena era vitoriana que a ideia de um dicionrio que abrangesse a l�ngua inglesa como um todo desde a preposio mais corriqueira at o substantivo mais longo e obscuro veio tona. Partindo de alguns preceitos j usados por Johnson o New English Dictionary - futuro Oxford English Dictionary - usaria citaes literrias ou no para ilustrar o sentido a origem e as mudanas sofridas ao longo do tempo no significado de todas as palavras anglo-saxnicas. O uso de voluntrios para empreender tamanho projeto foi uma iniciativa necessria e inovadora em sua poca e foi tambm o que permitiu o encontro de duas figuras fascinantes: o fil�logo autodidata James Murray irlands de origem humilde que dedicou quarenta anos edio do OED e o americano de fam�lia rica e tradicional William Chester Minor mdico promissor e dedicado que teve de passar a maior parte da vida entre os muros de um hospital psiquitrico e de l foi um dos colaboradores mais prof�cuos e eruditos do dicionrio. Com uma prosa simples e apaixonada de quem descobre com o leitor a profuso de hist�rias que existe por trs dos setenta anos da elaborao do OED Simon Winchester mergulha na vida desses dois personagens profundamente ligados quele que um dos maiores e mais importantes dicionrios de todos os tempos.
