About the Author

The Merriam brothers desired a continuity of editorship that would link Noah Webster’s efforts with their own editions, so they selected Chauncey A. Goodrich, Webster’s son-in-law and literary heir, who had been trained in lexicography by Webster himself, to be their editor in chief. Webster’s son William also served as an editor of that first Merriam-Webster dictionary, which was published on September 24, 1847. Although Webster’s work was honored, his big dictionaries had never sold well. The 1828 edition was priced at a whopping $20; in 13 years its 2,500 copies had not sold out. Similarly, the 1841 edition, only slight (more…)

Review

“Grossman and others like her continue to offer us enlightenment. . . .[the subject] is passionately explored and patiently explained.”–Richard Howard, New York Times Book Review (Richard Howard New York Times Book Review )“Edith Grossman, the Glenn Gould of translators, has written a superb book on the art of the literary translation. Even Walter Benjamin is surpassed by her insights into her task, which she rightly sees as imaginatively independent. This should become a classic text.”—Harold Bloom (Harold Bloom )

Why Translation Matters argues for the cultural importance of translation and for a more encompassing and nuanced appreciation of the translator’s role. As the acclaimed translator Edith Grossman writes in her introduction, My intention is to stimulate a new consideration of an area of literature that is too often ignored, misunderstood, or misrepresented.”For Grossman, translation has a transcendent importanc (more…)

Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto (Hardcover)

Sod626 — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:29:53 +0000

From Publishers Weekly

Author and conservative talk radio host Levin (Rescuing Sprite, Men in Black) takes on the Statist, a liberal straw man, in this collection of polemics against left-wing tenets (like “economic and social justice”), touchstones (like the New Deal) and institutions (strongholds of liberal thought like academia and the mainstream media). With “an insatiable appetite for control” and a veil of “moral indignation,” Levin finds the Statist not only in congressional Democrats and President Obama’s White House, but in “neo-Statists” like compassionate conservative Michael Gerson, and the Fed and Treasury under G.W. Bush. Many of Levin’s arguments reiterate familiar tropes, including a “strict constructionist” view of the Constitution that sees Social Security as patently un-American. Predictably, Levin opposes the extension of health benefits, derides global warming (implicating Obama’s “global warming czar” as a leader in “the Socialist International’s C (more…)
