Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thackeray Dictionary: The Characters and Scenes of the Novels and Short Stories Alphabetically Arranged Though the popular interest in Dickens has called forth various Dickens Dictionaries, there has so far been no corresponding reference book for the novels of his great contemporary. To supply this need is the aim of the present Thackeray Dictionary. As pioneers in the field the compilers have not been so ambitious as to attempt absolute completeness. It might be interesting and desirable to have a real Thackeray Encyclopaedia which should contain information on all points connected, in any way with Thackeray's writings. The present work, however, is simply a dictionary of the novels and of such of the short stories as are to be found in the Biographical edition of Thackeray's works published by Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Co. In view of the fact that so many of Thackeray's shorter pieces are midway in form between an essay or sketch and a short story, the term short story has been considered as sufficiently elastic to cover such sketches as contain either definite character drawing or many fictitious names. The best example of this is the Book of Snobs. The aim has been to include in the Dictionary the names of all characters, either fictitious or historical, that take a definite part, however small, in the action of a novel or short story. Allusions are, of course, omitted, fictitious place names - towns, rivers, streets, etc. - are included, but real names of this sort have been, as a rule, omitted, as their inclusion would have made the list in its present form too cumbersome. Except in the case of the various burlesques historical characters have been differentiated from fictitious. Much has been written about originals, or supposed originals, of many of Thackeray's characters. In some cases Thackeray undoubtedly drew from life, but the mania for tracing prototypes has led to many identifications for which there is little foundation. Wherever the identification of a character with an original rests on good authority, the original is given here; but if the authority is questionable, the identification has not been accepted. In view of the many inaccuracies along this line, it has seemed best, in all cases, to give the authority for the identification. For some originals many authorities might be quoted.

Book excerpt: THE compilers of this dictionary must perforce, mark out for themselves, the boundary line which lie somewhere between the proper field for a dictionary and the more exhaustive field to be covered by an encyclopedia. While research connected with the works of Dickens have been carried on for years, Thackeray has been taken less often as a subject of investigation, and the book before us is the first serious attempt to offer to the public an adequate dictionary. This book is in fact an encyclopedic index to Thackeray's works. So thoroughly has this pioneer investigation been done that one misses nothing here that he finds gleaned for the Dickens Dictionary. Indeed, some advance has been made. Real places, and characters famous in politics and literature, are carefully noted, and one is surprised to find that Thackeray used so large a number of familiar names of poets and statesmen. The chief heroes and heroines, also, are traced in their varying reappearances throughout the novels and stories. This feature is of great interest in the case of Thackeray. In the Dickens Dictionary it would be of little value. In a Trollope dictionary it would be indispensable. The reappearance of a familiar fictitious character gives pleasure that novelists today seldom understand. Certainly a reader of Trollope comes in time to know Barchester people as an Englishman knows his Burke. That the genius of the novelist is in part a genius for names is shown by the fact that certain names invented by Thackeray have come to be real names. This is notably true of the Pall Mall Gazette and also the Whitehall Review, names now so real that we with difficulty associate them with the realm of make-belief. In several cases Thackeray's mistakes are noted (e.g., see Mrs. Washington), especially where he intended to state facts; and the authors have unearthed many interesting items such as those relating to the Princess Olivia and to Captain George Osborne. In some few instances under headings such as Captain Edward Strong new and valuable material has been given, having been obtained from manuscript sources. Errors in proofreading are so few that they add to the impression of accuracy and care that pervades the book. Although A Thackeray Dictionary is primarily for reference a lover of the novelist's characters could spend delightful hours in turning these pages, every one of which bears a familiar name, and a well remembered description from Thackeray's own pen or a brief summary of a famous story. Before us pass Lady Castlewood with her pack of barking spaniels, Barry Lyndon the Irish adventurer, the Newcomes, the Pendennises, the Queen of Crim Tartary and Captain Strong, a friend to all the world. To thousands of readers these are very real people, and this record of them, prepared by Miss Mudge and Miss Sears, will be of constant service and delight. -Library Journal, Volume 35

This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the description of typical trends in development, formation and the present state of English Author Lexicography, the roots of which go back to concordances to the Bible and glossaries of the complete works of Chaucer (xvi c.). Part I, “Linguistic Dictionaries to English Writers,” presents lexicographic analysis of old and new concordances, indices, glossaries and lexicons of famous English writers with special reference to Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, and Dickens. It presents a modern scene of author glossaries for unfamiliar words, terms and other groups of writers’ vocabulary (e.g. Shakespeare’s insults and his erotic language). The reader is offered a detailed review of author concordances, glossaries and lexicons on the Internet, along with criticism of printed dictionaries. Part II, “Encyclopedic Reference Works to English Writers,” deals with English author encyclopedic reference books, i.e. encyclopedias, guides and companions; dictionaries of characters and place names; quotations and proverbs, and Internet encyclopedic resources. The book also provides a comprehensive list of references on author lexicography and an Index of Dictionaries to the English Writers (xvi–xxi cc.), including 300 titles of linguistic and encyclopedic dictionaries, which is a reliable user guide in the world of English author lexicography.
