Proper Names into Adjectives: First of Two Parts

       My pondering has been deepened on the precariousness of becoming famous.  Before one knows it, one's proud family name can be turned into an unfortunate adjective.

       Oh, we have become quite used to Shakespearean and Freudian and Einsteinian, and maybe "getting used to" is what it takes because some "proper adjectives" are not easily assimilable.  I submit the following examples.

       Saul Bellow and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow have been modified into the modifiers "Bellovian" and "Longfellovian."

       Film directors have been said to work "in the Mankiewiezian style" or "the Hitchcockian tradition."

       Composer Gustav Mahler transmutes to "Mahlerian," and this sentence appears in a review:

"Conductor George Solti knows the secret of tightening the Mahlerian sprawl and tempering the Mahlerian bombast without devaluing the Mahlerian spirit."

After reading this, one feels vaguely overcome by a tropical disease.
