A is the answer because I read this book like 5 times
A pen name is a name an author publishes a book under. It isn't their real name, it's only the name they go by when writing books.
Many female authors used male names to publish their books in time periods such as 1700s or 1800s, when women weren't thought of as smart and they didn't have rights. The male names were their pen names, used so that people would respect them.
<em>Examples in modern day (pen name --> real name):</em>
J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) --> Joanne Kathleen Rowling
Lemony Snicket (Series of Unfortunate Events) --> Daniel Handler
Answer:
can you comment the rest of the paragraph under this answer? i think you forgot it...
I have to use process of elimination here because as much as Lord Byron is a wonderful wordsmith, Don Juan can be so very confusing to me at times. No matter, here we go:
The Peter Bell The Third quote is "criticises the subject for having abundant knowledge of the world but low self-awareness". A few clues; "all things he seemed to understand" and then "but his own mind... was a mist".
The first Don Juan quote is "criticises the subject for confusing his audience". This one was harder, but the clues here are: "I wish he would explain his explanation". This seems to suggest the audience is confused.
That leaves the final Don Juan quote in the middle to be "criticises his subject for his half baked knowledge".
Hope that I could help!
