Jennifer Speake, née Drake-Brockman (born 1944, Toronto) is a Canadian-British freelance writer and editor of reference books.
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]
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]
In the 1970s she married Graham Speake,[1] an English classicist and academic publisher.[14]
