Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the 16th century to the present day, this looks at the ways in which the disguises of writers such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte were first used to tease readers. Why do so many writers choose anonymity?

Publisher's description:

Many of the great books of English literature were first published without their authors' names upon them. But why did authors choose anonymity? Ranging from the sixteenth century onwards, this book looks at the ways in which the disguises of writers such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte were first used to tease readers (and bamboozle critics).
