Product Description
What do Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Jane Eyre and Robinson Crusoe have in common?
Many of the great books of English literature were first published without their authors' names upon them. Ranging from the 16th century to the present day, Anonymity looks at the ways in which the disguises of writers such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë were first used to tease readers (and bamboozle critics).
