      abstract = {How can a work published in 1611 have had such a lasting  influence on the language? To answer this question, Crystal  offers fascinating discussions of phrases such as "The skin  of one's teeth" or "Out of the mouth of babes," tracing how  these memorable lines have found independent life in the  work of poets, playwrights, novelists, politicians, and  journalists, and how more recently they have been taken up  with enthusiasm by advertisers, Hollywood, and hip-hop.  --from publisher description.},
