List Of Works Published Under A Pseudonym
This is a list of books published under a pseudonym. Works published under a pseudonym *''Ali and Nino'' published in the German language in 1937 by E.P. Tal in Vienna under the pseudonym Kurban Said, now known to be written by core author Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli. Chamanzaminli, who had opposed the Bolshevik takeover of Baku in 1920, couldn't dare have risked having his name associated with a novel opposing the Bolsheviks especially since he wanted desperately to return home to Azerbaijan from Europe in 1926. The fingerprints related to folkloric and legendary descriptions (often erroneous) can be traced to Essad Bey, and material about travels to Tiflis and Persia were plagiarized from Grigol Robakidze. Elfriede Ehrenfels registered the pseudonym Kurban Said under her name but there is no proof that she wrote the book herself. *''Authorship, a Tale'', written in 1830 by John Neal under the pseudonym A New Englander Over-Sea. *''Battle of Niagara, a Poem, without Notes; and Go ...

Pseudonym
A pseudonym (; ) or alias () is a fictitious name that a person or group assumes for a particular purpose, which differs from their original or true name (orthonym). This also differs from a new name that entirely or legally replaces an individual's own. Many pseudonym holders use pseudonyms because they wish to remain anonymous, but anonymity is difficult to achieve and often fraught with legal issues. Scope Pseudonyms include stage names, user names, ring names, pen names, aliases, superhero or villain identities and code names, gamer identifications, and regnal names of emperors, popes, and other monarchs. In some cases, it may also include nicknames. Historically, they have sometimes taken the form of anagrams, Graecisms, and Latinisations. Pseudonyms should not be confused with new names that replace old ones and become the individual's full-time name. Pseudonyms are "part-time" names, used only in certain contexts – to provide a more clear-cut separation between o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Victorian Period
In the history of the United Kingdom and the British Empire, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period, and its later half overlaps with the first part of the '' Belle Époque'' era of Continental Europe. There was a strong religious drive for higher moral standards led by the nonconformist churches, such as the Methodists and the evangelical wing of the established Church of England. Ideologically, the Victorian era witnessed resistance to the rationalism that defined the Georgian period, and an increasing turn towards romanticism and even mysticism in religion, social values, and arts. This era saw a staggering amount of technological innovations that proved key to Britain's power and prosperity. Doctors started moving away from tradition and mysticism towards a science-based approach; medicine advanced thanks to the adoption o ...

My Secret Life (erotica)
''My Secret Life'', by "Walter", is the memoir of a gentleman describing the author's sexual development and experiences in Victorian England. It was first published in a private edition of eleven volumes, at the expense of the author, including an imperfect index, which appeared over seven years beginning around 1888. The work itself is enormous, amounting to over one million words, the eleven original volumes amounting to over 4,000 pages. The text is repetitive and highly disorganised and the literary quality is negligible, but its frank discussion of sexual matters and other hidden aspects of Victorian life make it a rare and valuable social document. According to Steven Marcus, it is virtually the only source for information on London's houses of prostitution, in which Walter spent many hours. It has been described as "one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written". Publishing and bans The first edition was probably printed by Auguste Brancart, in an impres ...

Delphian Club
The Delphian Club was an early American literary club active between 1816 and 1825. The focal point of Baltimore's literary community, Delphians like John Neal were prodigious authors and editors. The group of mostly lawyers and doctors gathered weekly to share refreshments and facetious stories, with many of their works being published in ''The Portico'' magazine. The club's structure and terminology were inspired by classical antiquity and comical verbosity. Sixteen men claimed membership over the club's nine-year run, with no more than nine serving at a time. Edgar Allan Poe satirized the group in his unpublished '' Tales of the Folio Club'' in the 1830s. History The Delphian Club was founded in Baltimore in 1816. The number of Baltimore printers, publishers, and booksellers had doubled in the preceding years.
