摘要

Part of the Oxford family of quotation dictionaries, Lend Me Your Ears is the fourth edition of the well-known book of political quotations by Antony Jay. First published in 1996 and previously reviewed in these columns (RR 2001/317 and RR 2004/245), our current editor described it as the "standard work in the field" (RR 2004/245). A perpetual favourite, it remains a really enjoyable and useful reference that varies between pleasure, topicality and utility. This is one of the few reference books I have reviewed that you would find in almost any type of bookshop (physical or virtual) and is in essence a commercial work. Nothing wrong with that; and whilst it is not an academic work, it is well edited, erudite and highly enjoyable (even if the latter seem like a contradiction in terms). It is one of those books that could be described as "unputdownable" - you start intending to flick through and before you know it half an hour has passed. The author Sir Antony Jay is a well-known broadcaster and writer, with a finely-honed insight into the world of politics. Perhaps best known as a co-writer of the hugely popular TV comedies Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, shows that Homer Simpson might have said were funny because they were true.
