Book Description
Originally published in 1581 during a very active period in the history of education in England, Mulcaster's Positions, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was an ambitious bid to change the direction of English schooling. Mulcaster sets down propositions for a uniform political reformation of English schools. In arguing for public over private education, he promotes physical education, a closer control of the students admitted into schools, and ways to improve both the training and careers of teachers. This authoritative edition includes an extensive introduction with biography and background to Mulcaster's ideas. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Cambridge Companion to English Dictionaries

Pages : 410
Book Description
How did a single genre of text have the power to standardise the English language across time and region, rival the Bible in notions of authority, and challenge our understanding of objectivity, prescription, and description? Since the first monolingual dictionary appeared in 1604, the genre has sparked evolution, innovation, devotion, plagiarism, and controversy. This comprehensive volume presents an overview of essential issues pertaining to dictionary style and content and a fresh narrative of the development of English dictionaries throughout the centuries. Essays on the regional and global nature of English lexicography (dictionary making) explore its power in standardising varieties of English and defining nations seeking independence from the British Empire: from Canada to the Caribbean. Leading scholars and lexicographers historically contextualise an array of dictionaries and pose urgent theoretical and methodological questions relating to their role as tools of standardisation, prestige, power, education, literacy, and national identity.
