Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Providence: Brown University, 1939-1943. Seven folio volumes bound in original mustard cloth stamped in black. First edition of this landmark work on the dialects of English speaking communities throughout New England and Southern New Brunswick, edited by Hans Kurath and sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies. The set features 743 maps, all present, each showing variations in the utterances of a single common phrase across each distinct region. The mapped phrases - 38 in all - include phrases related to Work, Sports, Health, Food, Weather, etc., providing an important record of phonetic variation across New England in the early part of the 20th century. Kurath's work represents the first large scale attempt to develop a linguistic atlas of a large geographical region. Map 199 detached but present; edges of map 643 crimped and chipped, but remaining maps clean with minor edgewear. Cloth soiled and lightly stained in places, endpapers creased and lightly soiled, but a sound, VG set. Given the nature of the subject matter the majority of sets likely went to institutions and libraries, with remaining sets scarce on the market.
