Book Synopsis Semantics and Cultural Change in the British Enlightenment: New Words and Old by : Carey McIntosh
Book excerpt: A study of English semantics during the Enlightenment. New words 1650–1800 reflect the new middle-class culture of sociability, commerce, and science. Old mostly obsolete words illuminate the realities of working-class life, exhausting labor, dirt, outrageous sexism, magic, horses, bizarre food.
