Individual authors ( classes P-PZ)

Normally, all works by the same person (no matter what name they write under) go in the same             number.
Multiple numbers are established for those who write in more than one language.

Factors to consider in locating an author's classification number:
   Language in which the author wrote
   Nationality
   Time period the author was productive
       [Taken from LC's classification manual, F632]

Procedure to find or establish a literary author number:
-- Check NAF, your local catalog, and online LC records
-- If the language is divided by countries (like Spanish), choose the country of the author's citizenship
-- If you can't tell, select a country based on birthplace, parentage, residences, or place of publication       of works

For authors who write in more than one language:
-- Class translations and critical studies of individual works with the original works
-- Class collective criticism of several works according to the language of the works studied
-- Put general criticism and biography of the author in the number that best represents his\her total            literary output.
