Published in 1909, this is an amusing collection of literary faults that irritated Bierce when he was reading critically. His list of pet-peeves provides many chuckles thanks to the author’s sharp wit but also illustrates the extent to which the English language has changed in little more than a century.

Over de auteur
Ambrose Bierce (1842-c.1914) was an American short-story writer, journalist, and critic. He is best known for his short story, ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge’ and a volume of ironic definitions, The Devil’s Dictionary. Disillusioned with American life, he moved to Mexico in 1913, where he vanished without a trace.
