This book focuses on the different forms in which authorship came
to be expressed in eighteenth-century Italian publishing. It
analyses both the affirmation of the "author function", and, above
all, its paradoxical opposite: the use of anonymity, a
centuries-old practice present everywhere in Europe but often
neglected by scholarship. The reasons why authors chose to publish
their works anonymously were manifold, including prudence, fear of
censorship, modesty, fear of personal criticism, or simple
divertissement. In many cases, it was an ethical choice, especially
for ecclesiastics. The Italian case provides a key perspective on
the study of anonymity in the European context, contributing to the
analysis of an overlooked topic in academic studies.
