(1900-1949)
(c) Gone With the Wind: The novel was published in 1936 and the film of the
same name, 1939.
After the name (meaning “hill”) of a place in Meath, seat of the high
kings of Ireland, Tara was the name of the plantation belonging to the
protagonist 主人翁.
Incidentally Rhett (as in Rhett Butler) is Dutch surname meaning "advice."
(d) The English surname Brett denoted a Breton who came to England in the
wake of Norman Conquest.
(e) Macmillan Publishers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macmillan_Publishers
(founded in 1843 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, two brothers from the
Isle of Arran, Scotland [at London])
Quote: "George Edward Brett opened the first Macmillan office in the United
States in 1869 and Macmillan sold its U.S. operations to the Brett family,
George Platt Brett, Sr. and George Platt Brett, Jr. in 1896, resulting in
the creation of an American company, Macmillan Publishing. Even with the
split of the American company from its parent company in England, George
Brett, Jr. and Harold MacMillan remained close personal friends)
(f) For "Royal portable," see Royal Typewriter Company
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Typewriter_Company
(g) newsprint
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsprint
(low-cost, non-archival paper most commonly used to print newspapers, plus
other publications and advertising material; has an off-white cast and
distinctive feel)
(h) I assume the MS in "MS of the Old South" stands for Mississippi. |
