About the Author:
Eric Honeywood Partridge renowned philologist, etymologist and lexicographer, dedicated his life to the study of language but it is for his work on slang, and in particular his flagship dictionary, The Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, that he is most widely remembered and admired.
Review:
A most fascinating book; an archaeological museum, a veritable Madame Tussaud's of the vulgar language. It is a really epoch-making, monumental piece of work, carried out with astonishing industry and learning.
