The Oxford Dictionary of Twentieth Century Quotations by Elizabeth Knowles

Collects quotations considered crucial to a picture of the 20th century, offering the reader an overview of the social, political, cultural and scientific concerns of succeeding decades. Quotations come from the written word and, more latterly, from soundbites, online sources and television.

What They Didn't Say: A Book of Misquotations (2006) and How to Interpret a Word (2010) are two of her other editing credits. She contributed to Oxford University Press's History, and she is currently working for Oxford University Press on a study of quotations in the English language.
