Description

Here is the first full-length biography in 60 years of the man who standardized "American" EnglishNoah Webster played a pivotal role in how Americans read and write: his speller sold an astounding average of one million copies per year for one hundred years; his monumental dictionary transformed the way Americans wrote the language; and his elementary school curriculum was adopted throughout the nation and remained the foundation of American education for a century. A member of one of America's first families and a key ally of Washington, Adams, and Jay, Webster was also a leading combatant in the pitched battle for the ratification of the Constitution. Written with the full support of the Noah Webster House, Harlow Unger's comprehensive biography vividly brings to life both a young United States during a period of turmoil and an American legend who helped shape this nation.Harlow Giles Unger (New York, NY) was a foreign news editor at the New York Herald Tribune and a foreign correspondent for the Times and the Sunday Times (London). He is the author of six books on education.
