About the Author

James Redding Ware (1832-1909) was an author, journalist and lexicographer. John Simpson is the Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Reviews

‘Plunges the reader straight into the late 19th-century Bartholomew Fair of undeserving paupers, loafers, Ally Slopers, theatrical types and demi-mondaines.’
*The Spectator*

‘I hope J. Redding Ware studies comes into its own, or at least that others discover him. How often is it worth reading a dictionary just for the stories?’
*Inside Higher Ed*
