Product Description

The Oxford Dictionary of Twentieth Century Quotations aims to provide the reader with an accurate snapshot of the developments and the spirit of the century. A collection of over 5,000 quotations, organized alphabetically by author, it covers the arts and popular culture, as well as scientific, social, and historical fields. There are also thematic sections for quotations which are not primarily recognized by their author, such as advertising and political slogans,
catchphrases, film lines, and common misquotations.

Film, TV, advertising, the Internet, and soundbites, as well as the more traditional resources, all provide material for quotations.

The thematic index provides a selection of the best quotations on a particular subject; the keyword index allows you to look up a word and see the quotations which contain it, as well as enabling you to search for a quotation for which you don't know the author.
