Summary:"The present volume is a radically revised and enlarged edition, with over 2,000 new entries for a total of 11,000 and a new introduction. New or expanded information has been added to many of the entries. A new appendix is devoted to terms relating to pseudonymous and changed names. More emphasis has been put on the change of an individual's first name, as well as his or her surname. Arranged by pseudonym, the entries give the true name, vital dates, country of origin or settlement, and profession. Many entries include the story behind the person's name change."--BOOK JACKET.
