'It is true that anonymous works receive less attention than those works that can be attributed to a canonical author, and this collection succeeds in suggesting ways in which carefully selected anonymous works may be usefully approached thematically and historically, and as specific genres.' Renaissance Quarterly 'Anonymity in Early Modern England makes an important contribution to early modern studies, precisely because it addresses what many scholars have traditionally avoided. Anonymity is not an unfortunate condition for a book, pamphlet, or manuscript, nor is it merely a pragmatic device by which the author wishes to avoid arrest. The book argues persuasively that anonymity is an essential, if paradoxical, aspect of self-fashioning. Anonymity is a form of authorship in its own right.' Sixteenth Century Journal
