英语词汇alexander the corrector的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Alexander the Corrector. One of the great censors to be found in these pages (see bowdlerize; comstockery). Alex- ander Cruden (1701–1770) believed himself divinely appointed to reform England, suffered periodic attacks of insanity, and was confined in lunatic asylums several times. Cruden com- piled a highly regarded Biblical Concordance, but would be more valued today for his peculiar form of censorship. He was called “Alexander the Corrector” because he had a penchant for going about London with a sponge and erasing all the “licen- tious, coarse and profane” graffiti he saw. Cruden was found dead in an attitude of prayer.
