Autorenporträt
Ebenezer Cobham Brewer (1810-1897) was a renowned British lexicographer and author, best known for his works on the origins of phrases and allusions. With a rich education at Cambridge, Brewer applied his expansive knowledge of literature, history, and language into compiling insightful references books. In 1841, he penned 'A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar,' a book that broke new ground by explaining scientific phenomena in an accessible language to the general public. The book was widely appreciated for demystifying complex subjects and contributing to the popularization of science among laypeople. Brewer's literary style was characterized by clarity, detail, and a colloquial ease that made profound topics readily understandable and engaging. His later work, 'Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,' remains a classic reference, illuminating readers on etymology, allusive phrases, and cultural history with scholarly precision and wit. Brewer's extraordinary commitment to making knowledge accessible and his influence on the interpretation of literary and historical references is still recognized in contemporary scholarship and education.
