Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every familiar name in fiction carries a private history: pronunciation, origin and the echoes of usage across pages and time. A. Wheeler's explanatory and pronouncing dictionary gathers those names with careful attention and a clear, authoritative tone. A practical companion for readers. Presented as a literary reference dictionary and a classic literature companion, it addresses pseudonyms and surnames bestowed on eminent men and offers literary appellations explained in plain, usable terms. With concise entry-heads that indicate pronunciation, succinct etymologies and contextual notes, the work serves as a names of fiction guide so that an unexpected reference in a novel or an offhand remark in criticism can be recognised, understood and pronounced with confidence. Rooted in nineteenth-century practice, the diction and choice of examples offer a direct view of the conversational habits of an earlier literary culture while remaining readily accessible to modern reading.Its significance is both scholarly and sociable. As a literature conversation reference and a writers and readers resource the dictionary illuminates the texture of Victorian era literature and functions as a dependable nineteenth century reference for anyone decoding period allusion. It reads like a compact literary allusions handbook: well-chosen cross-references and brisk explanations map the web of names that once carried social or moral weight. Casual readers gain swift clarification; classic literature collectors will value its authority and the way it enriches a book collectors collection. Far from dry lexicography, it is a comprehensive fiction names resource that rewards browsing as much as targeted research and helps readers trace the living lines of allusion in conversation, criticism and cataloguing. Librarians and annotators gain a practical tool for accurate entries; book groups and teachers benefit from immediate clarification; writers seeking authentic period names may test usage and tone quickly and confidently.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.…
