Abstract

This is the first supplement to The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs (New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2012) edited by Charles Clay Doyle, Wolfgang Mieder, and Fred R. Shapiro. It registers 85 additional modern Anglo-American proverbs with historical dates and contextualized references. We are planning to publish such supplements from time to time, and eventually we hope to bring out a new edition of our dictionary.
