Description
Francis Grose's Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue and its later versions offer a unique glimpse into the colourful world of late Georgian and Regency London. This book brings together hundreds of words and phrases from two editions, arranged alphabetically, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the language and culture of the time. For those interested in the period, its language, and the people who used it, this book provides a valuable resource. By arranging the words and phrases from two editions, Pierce Egan's version and John Bee's Slang: A Dictionary, in a single volume, it makes it easier to explore the themes and concepts of the time. This book can be used alongside the original dictionaries, which are also available in reprint and e-versions. With its unique blend of historical and linguistic information, this book is an essential resource for anyone looking to explore the Regency underworld.
