This book title, A Place for Everything (The Curious History of Alphabetical Order), ISBN: 9781541601161, by Judith Flanders, published by Basic Books (May 3, 2022) is available in paperback. With wry humor, historian Judith Flanders offers a fascinating history of how the alphabet ordered our world. But eventually alphabetical order triumphed. Yet the birth of alphabetization was a constant struggle: Medieval clergy felt that its use would upend the divine order of creation elite institutions like Harvard and Yale long ranked students by the social status of their parents, rather than ordering them from A to Z. From school registers to electoral rolls, from dictionaries and encyclopedias to library shelves, the alphabet has ordered our lives, often invisibly. Once we’ve learned our ABCs as children, few of us ever think of them again, but alphabetical order plays a material role in our adult lives.
