英语词汇curlicism的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

curlicism. John Arbuthnot remarked that English publisher Edmund Curll’s inaccurate biographies were “one of the new terrors of death,” but Curll was more notorious for the obscene books he published, these including The Memories of John Ker of Kersland (1728), The Nun in Her Smock, a book on flagella- tion, and other inspirational works. Today “the unspeakable Curll” might be a rich man, but in his time he was fined, put in the pillory, and imprisoned for his efforts. Among the greats who lampooned him were Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, who described him as “a fly in amber.” No one has identified the anonymous wit who coined the word curlicism, “literary in- decency,” from his name.
