The Dictionary of Lost Words is a historical novel set around the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. Pip Williams imagines the life of a young woman whose experiences bring her into contact with the people collecting and defining words. The story explores language, class, gender and whose voices are preserved in history. It combines a richly researched setting with a personal story about identity, knowledge and the power of words.
