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? This second edition of A Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms has been increased by 30 to 35 per cent, providing some 16,800 English-language literary pseudonyms and the real names of nearly 10,600 authors, who wrote books and articles in journals and newspapers from the early seventeenth century to the present day. All literary genres are covered, including romance, crime, science fiction, westerns, etc. The Dictionary is arranged in two parts: Part I lists pseudonyms in alphabetical order, giving the author's real name; Part II lists authors' real names, with brief biographical details, giving pseudonym(s) and selected titles of works published under each pseudonym."
