Nom de Plume: A (Secret) History of Pseudonyms

Carmela Ciuraru

4.9/5 (21927 ratings)

Description:The most compelling poets and writers are attuned to the nuances of self-identity and are acutely aware of the often contradictory nature of human behavior. This sensitivity allows them to be better writers—to bring to life fascinating characters, poetic speakers, and richly layered narratives. It also affords them a particular understanding of their own multifaceted personalities. Unable to reconcile these opposing forces, yet also unable to ignore them, writers struggles sometimes with their own personas. Finding it difficult to create under their given name, some prefer the anonymity of a pseudonym. In Nom de Plume, Carmela Ciuraru examines 20 authors and their aliases—some used as a form of protection, others for modesty, and a few for the freedom to explore other literary (or even psychological) identities. Book lovers will discover fresh portraits of the literary lives of such writers as Daniel Defoe, Jane Austen, Fernando Pessoa, Sylvia Plath, and the Bronte sisters. Filled with literary anecdotes, rich detail, and little-known tidbits, this illuminating and enchanting book speaks to the desire in every reader—and every writer—to escape the self and see the world through someone else's eyes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
