Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise handbook of pseudonymous and anonymous literature, bringing together a rare and specific type of work that has historically proved difficult to research. It contains entries for over a thousand works, organized alphabetically under authors' real names (with references in the Text to Pseudonymns and Initials), besides full and complete Index of Titles to anonymous works noticed. Covering the period from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century, this invaluable resource is an essential tool for bibliographers, librarians, and private collectors. The author has had to rely mainly on works which have come under his own observation, either as a Cataloguer or in the Sale Room; however, he has also been able to reduce the bulk of the work a great deal by excluding mac/z matter which, though it has actually passed through his hands, may readily be found in Lowndes or Allibone. The result is an unmissable guide to the extensive world of works by unknown authors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
