The beginning of the article pokes fun at how much fun it would be to be the one to make all the words in the dictionary. The Book of Saint Albans was the first dictionary printed in 1486 however the first comprehensive dictionary was not printed until 1730 by Nathan Baily. It goes on to explain that Carrol and Lear invented words for their own purposes, much like Shakespeare. In turn this article describes full circle how words made it into the dictionary and the development of new words. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of American Scholar is the property of Phi Beta Kappa Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
