It is a well-known fact that many Victorian women writers such as the Brontë sisters, George Eliot, and Elizabeth Gaskell adopted pseudonyms or anonymity in publishing their literary works, but few people are aware of how such naming practices had been received by contemporary readers, especially by Victorian periodical reviewers – the very first readers and mediators that presented any major literary works to the public. Since we, as modern day scholars, have become so intimate with their present forms of author names appearing on course syllabuses, school curriculums, and academic papers, we hardly ask how such naming has become possible.

关键名称很重要：“CURRER BELL”、“GEORGE Eliot”和“MRS。加斯凯尔”

这是众所周知的事实许多维多利亚时代的女作家，如勃朗特姐妹、乔治·艾略特和伊丽莎白·加斯凯尔在出版文学作品时都采用化名或匿名，但很少有人知道当代读者如何接受这种命名做法，尤其是维多利亚时代的期刊评论家——最早向公众展示任何主要文学作品的读者和调解人。由于我们，作为现代学者，已经对他们目前出现在课程大纲、学校课程和学术论文中的作者姓名形式如此熟悉，我们几乎不问这种命名是如何成为可能的。
