Jennifer Speake, née Drake-Brockman (born 1944, Toronto) is a Canadian-British freelance writer and editor of reference books.

Life

Jennifer Anne Speake was born in Toronto in 1944.^{[citation needed]} She was the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Guy Percy Lumsden Drake-Brockman and Vera Mary McLeod Harrison Topham, later of Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.^[1]^{[better source needed]} She has an MA and BPhil.^{[citation needed]}

Career

Working at Oxford University Press, Speake helped OED editor John Simpson bring out a second edition of his Concise Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs, and a third edition in 1998. She became sole editor for the fourth (2003) and subsequent editions.^[2] Speake's other work included a biography of Thomas Vaughan, a philosopher from Wales.^[3]

Speake's three-volume 2003 encyclopedia of travel literature received a 2004 Reference and User Services Association award.^[4] One reviewer called it "an amazing collection of those people, famous, not-so-famous, and infamous alike, who have traveled the world over, with long lists of additional books for the travel narrative lover".^[5] Another reviewer, while noting inconsistency in its coverage, praised it as providing "an unusually rich entrée into an immense field that crosses cultural, historical and discipinary boundaries."^[6]
