In the first extended treatment of the debates surrounding public deception in eighteenth-century Britain, Jack Lynch contends that forgery, fakery, and fraud make explicit the usually unspoken grounds on which Britons made sense of their world.

ISBN: 9781611488098 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Unlike French, Spanish, and Italian dictionaries compiled during this time and published by national academies, the goal of English dictionaries was usually not to purify the...
