Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the impact of Noah Webster's work, the book highlights his role as a pivotal figure in American education and language. By creating textbooks that taught American children to read, spell, and pronounce words, he transformed the learning process and promoted a distinctly American form of English. His efforts in "Americanizing" spelling helped shape the language, leading to the famous observation by George Bernard Shaw about the differences between British and American English. Webster's influence was crucial in establishing a national identity through language.
