David L. Gold studied linguistics, philology, translation, and simultaneous interpretation, earned a doctorate in Romance philology at the University of Barcelona, and in 1990 left teaching to devote as much time as possible to research and publishing. Regarding Dickens, he has disproven many of the etymologies suggested for the name Fagin and reported a misprint perpetuated in all editions of "Seven Dials" since 1839. He is now examining the possibility that Dickens gives us the so far earliest-known example of rhyming slang.
