About This Item
Dover Pubns, 1971. Trade Paperback. Very Good. In Very Good Condition. May Have Minor Shelf Wear To Edges. For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. These Caustic Aphorisms, Collected In The Devil's Dictionary, Helped Earn Ambrose Bierce The Epithets Bitter Bierce, The Devil's Lexicographer, And The Wickedest Man In San Francisco. First Published As The Cynic's Word Book (1906) And Later Reissued Under Its Preferred Name In 1911, Bierce's Notorious Collection Of Barbed Definitions Forcibly Contradicts Samuel Johnson's Earlier Definition Of A Lexicographer As A Harmless Drudge. There Was Nothing Harmless About Ambrose Bierce, And The Words He Shaped Into Verbal Pitchforks A Century Ago--With Or Without The Devil's Help--Can Still Draw Blood Today.
