Resumen: "Eric Partridge's lively and erudite books on the English language were, and are, all classics in their field. As such they have stood up remarkably well to the passage of time and have been much reprinted, at first with emendations by Partridge himself. Modern readers can still enjoy his wit and elegance and the forthrightness of his judgements. But language changes with time, and if Usage and Abusage, whose first edition appeared as early as 1942, is to continue to be a practical guide to its subject today, some updating is now necessary for several reasons (...) On the other hand, there have been considerable advances in the study of English grammar in the last half century. I have tried to approach reverently the task of modernizing this delightful book (...) I hope the result is not too uneasy a blend of the old and the new". Janet Whitcut.

Resumen: First published in 1926, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage is one of the most celebrated reference books of the twentieth century. Commonly known as "Fowler," after its inimitable author, H.W. Fowler, it has sold more than a million copies and maintained a devoted following over seven decades, in large part because of its charming blend of information and good humor, delivered in the voice of a genial if somewhat idiosyncratic schoolmaster. Now this classic is available in a new edition--the first major revision since Fowler's original. Rewritten, updated, and expanded to take into account the vast linguistic changes of the past three-quarters of a century, here are thousands of alphabetically arranged entries, offering advice and background information on all aspects of the English language, from grammar to spelling to literary style. This masterful revision has been carried out by Robert Burchfield, hailed by The Chicago Tribune as "the greatest living lexicographer." In his hands, the MEU has retained its beloved traits--accessibility, authority, and (not least) personality--while acquiring new ones, most notably, up-to-the-minute currency. As in "Fowler," the new edition is a cornucopia of information on such troublesome areas as the plural form of foreign words (adagio, curriculum, memorandum, virus); related or like-sounding words (affect/effect, continual/continuous); rarely encountered literary terms (alcaics, alexandrine, arsis); and unusual inflected forms (for instance, taxi, taxis, taxiing). But there are also many innovations. Burchfield, who spent decades working on the Oxford English Dictionary, has introduced the OED's historical approach to the MEU, providing fascinating details on how and when new usages entered the language.
