All of them are recounted with crisp good sense and a lively eye for anecdotal detail."—John Gross, Wall Street Journal
"Mullan is a shrewd observer of the stratagems devised by women writing as men, men writing as women, political pamphleteers, reviewers and confessional writers."—Duncan Wu, Times Higher Education Supplement
"[An] excellent new volume. . . . [A] compelling exploration of an important and neglected literary phenomenon."—James Robertson, Financial Times

Anonymous work
Creation of an unknown or deliberately unnamed person
Anonymous works are works, such as art or literature, that have an anonymous, undisclosed, or unknown creator or author. In the case of very old works, the author's name may simply be lost over the course of history and time. There are a number of reasons anonymous works arise.
Legal definitions
[edit]United States
[edit]In the United States, anonymous work is legally defined as "a work on the copies or phonorecords of which no natural person is identified as author."[1]
Reasons
[edit]In the case of very old works, the author's name may simply be lost over the course of history and time. In such cases the author is often referred to as Anonymus, the Latin form of "anonymous".
In other cases, the creator's name is intentionally kept secret. The author's reasons may vary from fear of persecution to protection of his or her reputation. Legal reasons may also bar an author from self-identifying.[citation needed] An author may also wish to remain anonymous to avoid becoming famous for their work.
