In this book, the author provides the first comprehensive study of names and naming in fiction, rereading the novelistic tradition to show that acts of naming--bestowing, revealing, or earning a name; taking away, hiding, or prohibiting a name; slandering, protecting, or serving a name--lie at the center of fictional plots from the 18th century to the present.
