Ranging from the remote past to the present, he explores the formation, development, and significance of "ations, while exploring the "verbal museums" in which they have been collected and displayed--commonplace books, treasuries, and anthologies. In his trademark clear, witty, and provocative style, Morson invites readers to share his delight in the shortest literary genre.The author defines what makes a "e "able, as well as the (unexpected) differences between "ation and mis"ation. He describes how "ations form, transform, and may eventually become idioms. How much of language itself is the residue of former "ations? Weaving in hundreds of intriguing "ations, common and unusual, Morson explores how the words of others constitute essential elements in the formation of a culture and of the self within that culture. In so doing, he provides a demonstration of that very process, captured in the pages of this extraordinary new book. 606 $aQuotations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aQuotation in literature 606 $aEpitaphs$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aQuotations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aQuotation in literature. 615 0$aEpitaphs$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a080.9 700 $aMorson$b Gary Saul$f1948-$0610132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789700403321 996 $aThe words of others$93682884 997 $aUNINA
