Publisher's Synopsis
'Oxford Essential Quotations' ensures coverage of the most popular and widely-used quotations by combining use of the largest ongoing language research programme in the world, the Oxford English Corpus, with the acclaimed text of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, and enhances these with a selection of less well-known but equally memorable contemporary sayings. In this third edition, over 150 subjects have been updated with new quotations from over 170 authors, including over 50 new authors.
