Women's power was compromised from outset. No women were able to gain reigns of power through their bloodlines alone. Many women only gained throne at end of dynasties after male line had run out entirely, or in midst of civil war when patrilineal successions were in disarray. Others denied their femininity in dress and manner, effectively androgynizing themselves or pretending to be men so that their femininity would not be obstacle to political rule.

Anonymity supported the illusion of Augustus’s sprawling puppet mastery ( Res Gestae), controlled and destroyed the victims of a curse (Ovid’s Ibis), and created out of whole cloth a poetic persona and career (Phaedrus’s Fables). Tom Geue turns to antiquity to show what the suppression or loss of a name can do for literature. We can tether each work to an identity, or we can stand back and ask how the absence of a name affects the meaning and experience of literature. Author Unknown is the first book to consider anonymity as a site of literary interest rather than a gap that needs filling. Classical scholarship tends to treat this anonymity as a problem or game-a defect to be repaired or mystery to be solved. ![]() An exploration of the darker corners of ancient Rome to spotlight the strange sorcery of anonymous literature.įrom Banksy to Elena Ferrante to the unattributed parchments of ancient Rome, art without clear authorship fascinates and even offends us.
