The Dictionary People
The unsung heroes who created the Oxford English Dictionary
Langbeschreibung
What do three murderers, a pornography collector, Karl Marx's daughter and a vicar found dead in the cupboard of his chapel have in common? They all helped to create the Oxford English Dictionary. The OED has long been associated with elite institutions and educated men. After all, these forces have dominated how we think about history. But the OED was compiled through crowdsourcing ... About the strange, often marginal lives led by the people who defined the English language.
