Description

Elm Tree Books, London, first edition, 1977. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. xiv, 252 pp. From the blurb: "'What's in a name' ? According to Marion Morrison, Lesley Hornby, Sophia Scicoloni, Cassius Clay, W. C. Dunkinfield and the other 3,000 people included in this book, quite a lot. Pseudonyms have been used by all races and professions ever since men could write their names. They have been adopted for a variety of reasons and chosen by many different methods. In this dictionary, you will find the chosen pen-names, aliases, stage names and titles used by writers, criminals, actors, musicians, politicians, sportsmen and many others. Each entry includes the dates and profession of the individual and, when relevant, any information concerning his or her chosen pseudonym. Whereas previous compilations have been restricted mainly to pen-names, this dictionary extends the range to include, as far as possible, anyone well-known who changed his name. A useful book for every reference shelf, Pseudonyms will also entertain you. Good in used dustwrapper.
