Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms in the English Language - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

It is well known that the author of Alice in Wonderland was the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, writing under the name of Lewis Carroll, but how many people know what Louisa May Alcott wrote for an adult audience under the name of A. M. Barnard; that another riverboat pilot used the name Mark Twain before Samuel Langhorne Clemens; that George Eliot (real name Mary Ann Evans) also wrote under the pseudonym Felix Holt; that Doris Lessing published under her maiden name Jane Somers; that Ellis Peters (real name Edith Pargeter) also writes under two other names; or that William Makepeace Thackeray wrote under a host of pseudonyms in numerous Victorian journals?
The Dictionary is arranged in two parts: Part I lists pseudonyms in alphabetic order, giving the author's real name; Part II lists the authors' real names, with brief biographical details, giving pseudonym(s) and selected titles of works published under each pseudonym.
