英语词汇ghost writer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

ghost writer. This term for someone who writes a book, arti- cle, etc. for another person who is named as the author of it, only dates back to the late 1890s. However, the practice dates back much earlier. Caesar’s secretary, for example, may have coined the immortal veni, vidi, vici (“I came, I saw, I con- quered,”) and Seneca may well have written the Emperor Nero’s speeches. Mark Twain wrote most of Ulysses S. Grant’s autobi- ography and Archibald MacLeish and Robert Sherwood wrote speeches for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Alexander Dumas père kept a stable of ghost writers to churn out formula novels, paying them with little more than food and wine. There is even a story about a ghost writer who ghosted a novel and later was hired to ghost a review of the book he had ghosted. He re- viewed it glowingly, of course.
