Autor

Noah Webster (1758-1843) was an influential American lexicographer, textbook pioneer, English spelling reformer, political writer, and editor. Born in West Hartford, Connecticut, Webster's name has become synonymous with 'dictionary' in the United States. His quintessential work, 'Webster's Unabridged Dictionary,' is a staple in American English language resources. Well-educated at Yale College during the American Revolution, his encounters with the different dialects of English spoken by soldiers instilled in him a deep interest in language and education. After practicing law for a short period, Webster chose to focus on education, producing his first dictionary, 'A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language,' in 1806 and subsequently, his magnum opus, 'An American Dictionary of the English Language' in 1828, which laid the foundation for the version referenced here. Webster introduced American English spellings and distinguishing American words, carving an identity for the burgeoning nation's language. His works extend beyond dictionaries, spanning numerous textbooks, including the renowned 'Blue-Backed Speller,' which helped standardize American English. Webster's prolific career in lexicography not only captures his dedication to education and reform but also his desire to foster a unique cultural identity for America through language. Webster's scholarly commitment and his works continue to influence American English and education.
