Noah Webster Libri
Noah Webster fu una figura cardine nella formazione dell'educazione americana e nella standardizzazione della lingua inglese. Il suo lavoro sulle riforme dell'ortografia e sui libri di testo influenzò profondamente il modo in cui gli americani imparavano a leggere e scrivere, offrendo alla nazione una base secolare per la sua educazione. Il suo nome divenne sinonimo di 'dizionario' e i suoi sforzi contribuirono in modo significativo allo sviluppo della cultura e dell'identità americana.
