Literary Onomastics surveys different methods of studying names in
works of literature and offers representative works of literary
onomastic analysis. Included in this volume are qualitative studies
that examine select names as well as quantitative studies that
examine entire systems of names. These studies of literary names
straddle centuries, cross genres, and defy simple categorization.
Leading and emerging scholars in this field provide insight into
the namecraft of William Shakespeare, Philip Sidney, John Donne,
Julia Alvarez, Ursula K. Le Guin, Zadie Smith, George R. R. Martin,
and Britain's Rebel Writers. The theories and methods they employ
are associated with cultural, linguistic, rhetorical, feminist, and
ethnic studies. Collectively, these scholars demonstrate the many
approaches available to the study of names and naming practices in
literary works. Additionally, they consider how names function in a
variety of genres and mediums, including poetry, novels, science
fiction, and fantasy.
