"Signature evidently fictitious"

[edit]

What was the signature used for the first two editions? Is it missing, or have I overlooked it? -Mitico (talk, contribs) 12:52, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found that she used the pseudonym Geoffry Jarvis. I have included it into the article. I am not sure why this was considered "evidently fictitious." I have added a ref, which may or may not be a reliable source, but it does offer variety from the Grogan introduction. Remove it if you like. -Mitico (talk, contribs) 13:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The DYK hook doesn't list the fictitious name and the source you listed, an unreliable one, doesn't actually connect Jarvis to Modern Philosophers. I have removed it. (You should know that enotes.com is really totally unreliable - it is not a scholarly source for literature articles.) Awadewit (talk) 15:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, enotes didn't seem reliable. Open question then: is the fictitious name used known? It seems to be Jarvis [1][2]. Shouldn't this be included somehow? I enjoyed the article, this part just left me wondering. -Mitico (talk, contribs) 16:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, those sources say that the fictitious editor within the text was Geoffrey Jarvis. I'm not sure what name Hamilton signed with on the title page. Awadewit (talk) 09:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
