29 April 2008 - 9:56The Devil’s Dictionary

19th Century Satirist and curmudgeon, Ambrose Bierce made a livelihood out of being a cynical observer of human nature as well as a short story writer and columnist.  As a columnist, he produced new definitions to some of the English language’s oldest words, which are compiled in The Devil’s Dictionary.  (Bierce, Ambrose.  423 B588D)

For example: 

Dictionary, n.  A malevolent literary device for cramping the growth of a language and making it hard and inelastic.  This dictionary [The Devil’s Dictionary] , however, is a most useful work.

Along with the The Devil’s Dictionary, other Bierce works are available in the Miller Library collection.
