| Popis: | Abstract Several names in Dickens' novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood have been the source of disagreement among scholars. Among these are Drood itself, which may relate to rood ‘cross’; Neville Landless, both parts suggesting disenfranchisement; and the pet names for Rosa Bud, Rosebud and Pussy, both of which probably should not carry the sexual connotations some have ascribed to them. |
