ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
IN A BOOK that during many months has passed from a mere idea
to final materialization, it would be a literal impossibility to thank
all the people, in a private capacity or as representatives of public
authorities, who have helped so generously. But a few at least may
be mentioned. They include the librarian (Mr Awdry) of the National
Liberal Club, Mr Frank Easton of the Essex County Library, the
head librarian and assistants of Chelmsford Borough Library, the
Westminster Public Library, and the publishers' own staff.
The army of ' private suggestors ' (to invent a term) must remain
anonymous.
And finally, of course, the typist-secretary-collaborator-sternest
critic. (But she has had three books dedicated to her already.)

INTRODUCTION
ANY dictionary, concise or otherwise, is, from A to Z, handicapped by
certain fundamental and inescapable limitations.
The first is that it cannot hope to be wholly up to date. A living
language is permanently in a state of development; and English is the
most vital of them all. Daily, one might almost say hourly, there are
additions and modifications to its vocabulary, already numbering
approximately half a million words. While a dead language Latin is
the obvious example is always vulnerable to changes in pronunciation.
The second handicap, common to all works of reference, from the
monumental Dictionary of National Biography to the humblest paper-
covered crossword guide, is the necessity for a certain degree of selection.
And selection, even when tersely and colourlessly recorded, is bound to
reflect the likes, prejudices and general make-up of the recorder, however
much he may pride himself on his detachment.
This particular work of reference has in addition unique handicaps
of its own, principally owing to the fact of its being very much off the
beaten track. It includes the names of 20,000 fictitious characters,
derived from approximately 2,000 books written by some 500 authors
of British, Commonwealth and American nationality during the past
six centuries, and covers novels, short stories, poems and plays (the last-
named being non-musical, with the exception of Gilbert & Sullivan and
John Gay's two operas). Classic but non-human creations such as Black
Beauty, the Jabberwock, Bagheera and Winnie-the-Pooh are also there.
This collection involved an almost fantastic number of complications.
What authors it was necessary to include, what merely advisable, what
definitely worth while; what books our selected authors had written,
and eventually which characters in the selected books. (True, there
were certain absolutely essential entrants, along with practically all
their works: Shakespeare, Dickens, Scott, Hardy, Kipling, Wells, Jane
Austen, the Brontes. But even the glite of literature included characters
who were not worth bothering about.)
There also arose the problem of semi-classics, ranging from one to
half a dozen, which have achieved a permanent and universal popu-
larity out of a total output of many readable but undistinguished and
now forgotten works by the same authors. Blackmore, Mrs Henry Wood,
Marryat and Mrs Braddon will serve as examples. On the other hand
there is a terrifying horde of writers who during the last hundred and
fifty years achieved immense popularity, but whose works are now read
only by literary explorers, ribald critics and an elderly, diminishing
band of admirers. Where now are the reputations of the egregious
viii INTRODUCTION
Samuel Warren, the humourless Dean Farrar or Lady Florence Dixie
(daughter of a marquis, who married *a respectable baker'), of David
Christie Murray and of Catherine Sinclair, whose novel Modern A ccom-
plishments, f ulsomely dedicated ' by permission ' to Queen Victoria, ran
into eight editions.
Anno Domini is as ruthless with literature as with the merely popular
manifestations of the other arts. Nevertheless this phantom host had
to be surveyed and considered, and, out of deference to the nostalgically
minded reader, some of their works included.
A minor problem of an entirely different type was to determine where
the line should be drawn separating fictional from historical characters
(as distinct from those who were semi-historical or legendary) . Sir Walter
Scott provided a headache, inasmuch as he not only introduced real
people to give variety and verisimilitude to his narratives, but light-
heartedly altered dates and other details, either because it suited his
immediate purpose or because he simply decided that it was too much
trouble to check his facts. (Shakespeare, for example, appears as a guest
of honour in 1575, when the dramatist was a schoolboy of eleven.)
Thackeray on the other hand varies this process by entangling his
historical characters with fictitious princes and nobles whose pre-
posterously silly titles suggest a mid-Victorian Drury Lane pantomime.
A brief note concerning the general arrangement o the entries.
Normally the principal character in a family is placed first, followed by
husband or wife, children, parents and other relatives, in that order.
But where descendants come into the story they are indented, to prevent
confusion about who married whom, e.g. :
Jones, George.
Barbara, his wife, nee Brown.
Emily, their daughter, m. Peter Robinson.
Arthur, their son.
Fanny, his aunt.
(Arthur is the child of Emily and Peter, and Fanny the aunt of the
original George.)
The names of almost all wives are cross-indexed under their maiden
names (except where these are barely mentioned and are of no impor-
tance) ; with them are included their own relations. There is by the way
a distinction between 'Barbara, his wife/ which implies that the couple
were married when the story began, and 'm. Barbara Brown/ which
indicates that they get married in the course of the story (or that there
is every prospect of their marrying shortly after the story is finished).
Illegitimate children appear under the surname by which they are
known, with a cross-reference if necessary.
A few large and complicated families, whose records straggle on from
century to century the Forsytes, the Herrieses, the Newcomes, the
Rakonitzes refuse to fit in with this general plan, and are dealt with
on their own merits by whatever arrangement best makes for clarity.
INTRODUCTION ix
Quite frequently, surprisingly so in fact, characters are referred to by
their authors by their Christian name only. In such cases, if sufficiently
important, they are included under that name. In the rare cases where
the surname though mentioned is almost unknown to the average
reader (e.g. Little Nell) the character is cross-referenced under the
Christian name.
De, de la, d\ Here the rule is that if the 'de' is virtually inseparable
from the rest of the name, and the character is always alluded to with
that prefix, it is indexed under 'D/ e.g. de Lyndesay. But where it is
purely territorial, or not used in general conversation, it is ignored.
(Cross-indexing in such cases is not practicable.)
The date given after a book is that of its original publication. The
absence of a date means that it cannot be traced with any certainty;
but such cases are very rare. Generally speaking individual short
stories, many of them drawn from anthologies, are undated; where the
story appears in a collection under the author's name e.g. 'William
the Conqueror' in Kipling's The Day's Work the date of the book is
quoted.
Abbreviations have been reduced to a minimum. All are self-ex-
planatory.
A final note. In the compilation of a dictionary which has occupied
most of the waking, not to say sleeping, hours of the compilers for over
two years, it is reasonably certain that, while every possible effort has
been made to achieve accuracy, inaccuracies, omissions and inconsis-
tencies will occur. Which reduced to commercial English amounts to
E. & O. E. And for the benefit of the Carping Critic (I crown him with
his inevitable, his unique adjective; no living creature except a critic
ever did carp), let me add that he will assuredly discover also variations
in style and in the presentation of details. But so long as the general
reader finds the book fundamentally useful and interesting, I remain
impenitent.
