User talk:DaniusArcenus/Latin translations of modern literature

The author-- or rather the collector-- of the fairy-stories that Avellanus translated was not "Herbert Strang" but "Mrs. Herbert Strang" -- called in the Latin, which is before me, Hera Herberti Strang-- every bit as politically incorrect as the English, I know.

The term seems to me, however, not only appropriate but also necessary in this particular case, since "Mrs. Herbert Strang" was not a woman at all, but a pseudonym of the same two-man team-- the same (male) persons--that constituted Mr. Herbert Strang.
