Dictionary Wars by Martin, Peter
Dictionary Wars: The American Fight over the English Language
by Martin, Peter
 
Recounts the patriotic fervor in the early American republic to produce a definitive national dictionary that would rival Johnson’s 1755 Dictionary of the English Language. What began as a cultural war of independence from Britain devolved into a battle among lexicographers, authors, scholars, and publishers, all vying for dictionary supremacy and shattering forever the dream of a unified American language.
