Expurgated
Did You Know?
Expurgation has a long and questionable history.
Perhaps history's most famous expurgator,or censor,
was the English editor Thomas Bowdler,
who in 1818 published the Family Shakespeare,
an expurgated edition of Shakespeare's plays
that omitted or changed any passages
that, in Bowdler's opinion, couldn't decently be read aloud in a family.
As a result, the term bowdlerize is now a synonym of expurgate.
Dictionary of Problem Words and Expressions
Unabridged & abridged & expurgated
Unabridged means “not reduced in compass or scope
by condensing, omitting, etc.”:
that is, it means “full-length” or “not cut.”
Abridged, conversely, implies reduction.
Thus, we speak of an unabridged dictionary
when we refer to one that is largeand definitive,
including virtually everything
that it could reasonably be expected to contain.
An abridged dictionary is one which is considerably shorter
but which still retains all, or nearly all, information considered essential.
An expurgated book is one from which passages
thought obscene or otherwise objectionable have been removed.
Expurgated has a sense of purging, of cleansing.
Abridged and unabridged imply “shortened” and “full-length,”
without any connotation of moral, social, or ethical values.
