Choice In his introduction, compiler Grote apologizes `to the Dickensians, the Janeites, the Proustians, the Holmesians, and the Shakesperians' for the brevity of his entries, sure to disappoint these die-hard fans of a single author. He need not, however, apologize to the general readers for whom his book is intended as a source for learning the significance of more than 4,000 names they might encounter. They are the names of historical persons, biblical personages, and mythical and literary characters. The entries are brief but adequately explain the person's origins in fact or literature.

The entries are drawn primarily from literature, the Bible, and Greek and Roman mythology; a number of historical figures and names of significant historical events have also been included.
