Description

G. L. Apperson. This comprehensive collection was compiled from the author’s original & painstaking research of nearly 3,000 works dating as far back as the 12th century & earlier, including Chaucer & Shakespeare. Built upon the foundations of the great Oxford English Dictionary, this book traces the origins & history of English proverbs & proverbial phrases. The proverbs are grouped alphabetically & by subject, with copious cross-references throughout. A great joy to consult & to browse through.
