the book8217sninety-year history.A virtual
onslaught of acerbic, confrontational
wordplay, The Unabridged Devil8217sDictionary

the vocabulary of everyday life. Little is
sacred and few are safe, for Bierce targets just
about any pursuit, from matrimony to immortality,
that allows our willful failings and excesses to
shine forth.This new edition is based on David
E. Schultz and S. T. Joshi8217sexhaustive
investigation into the book8217swriting and
publishing history. All of Bierce8217sknown
satiric definitions are here, including
previously uncollected, unpublished, and
alternative entries. Definitions dropped from
previous editions have been restored while
nearly two hundred wrongly attributed to Bierce
have been excised. For dedicated Bierce readers,
an introduction and notes are also
included.Ambrose Bierce8217sDevil8217sDiction
ary is a classic that stands alongside the best
work of satirists such as Twain, Mencken, and
Thurber. This unabridged edition will be
celebrated by humor fans and word lovers
everywhere.
