description: (from the back cover)Don't be deceived into thinking names are easy to index. Names can present a challenge that consumes a disproportionate amount of an indexer's time. Now at last there is a book wholly devoted to the subject.Indexing Names covers names from classical and medieval times and those belonging to particular ethnicities and nationalities, along with those peculiar to specific genres, especially biography, religion, and the performance and fine arts. Fictional, corporate, and geographical names as well as those of royalty and nobility are discussed. You'll find advice on when and how to index names mentioned in peripheral ways and guidance in avoiding the pitfalls of automated name indexing.Noeline Bridge and her contributing experts from around the globe have created an essential reference for all indexers working in the English language - and an instant classic within the field.
