INDEX

Certain characters are identified by the novels in which they appear, e.g., Ahab (in Moby Dick). Characters known only by Mr. or Mrs. or by titles are sorted by their last names, e.g., Ramsay (Mrs. Ramsay) (in To the Lighthouse); Vronsky (Count Vronsky in Anna Karenina). Most are double-posted. Titles in English are sorted by the word following the articles A, An, or The: “A Simple Heart” appears under S. Foreign-language titles are sorted by the lead article: À la recherche du temps perdu is sorted under A. Tables are indicated by t; figures are indicated by fig; footnotes are indicated by the page number followed by n.
