Proverb Lore
F. Edward Hulme
Where does a proverb come from, and who said it first? F. Edward Hulme chases many sayings, wise or otherwise, through many sources, tracing births, migrations and mutations across chapter after chapter of proverb lore. Not a list but a natural history of sayings themselves. Learn the biographies of sentences you have been quoting all your life.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
