SUMMARY:Jack Lynch on The First English Dictionary?
DESCRIPTION:October Midday Program \n \nHere’s a little quiz: \nWho was the second person to walk on the moon? \nWhat is Milorad Čavić’s distinction? \nAre you ready to Buzz in and name Buzz Aldrin as the second human being to step down onto the lunar surface? \nOr did you think of the one one-hundredth of a second that was the difference between Čavić’s Olympic silver medal in the 100 meter butterfly and Michael Phelps’s seventh gold? \nWe tend to think of firsts first. When it comes to dictionaries\, Samuel Johnson — a towering and highly quotable figure — is often thought to have broken the tape. But did he? Or is his remarkable contribution to the history of lexicography much more than just being first to the printer? \nJoin us as Jack Lynch explores the history of the books that often have a home right on our desks … or linger in the background on our computers\, regularly interrupting to auto-correct even when it makes us scream\, “No! Don’t do that. I meant that!” \nJack is a distinguished professor of English at Rutgers University-Newark and a noted Johnson scholar. Much published\, he is the author of The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson (Cambridge University Press) and has written and edited a host of other academic and trade works about Samuel Johnson. \nHere’s your chance to be first! Touch the wall\, break the tape\, raise dust on the moon\, and register now for this entertaining and generously illustrated program! \nEven if you can’t attend at the scheduled time\, if you’re interested\, please register. After the program\, we’ll send an email to all registrants\, asking if you’d like a link to the complete recording. That way you can see the program even if you couldn’t attend live\, ran into technical issues\, or simply wanted to watch it again. \nTo register\, click here.
