About Geoffrey (University of Witwatersrand Hughes
View all books by Geoffrey (University of Witwatersrand HughesDescription of Words in Time
The word "blurb" derives from a "pulchritudinous young lady" of that fictional name who appeared on a book-cover at the turn of the century. Quarrying the "Oxford English Dictionary" for its evidence, this book traces the extraordinary way in which English words have changed their meanings.
