“... it is speakable about only in a dense and enigmatic code.’ If this is a lucid description of the anonymous authority of such symptoms, it is also a coded description and critique of a certain kind of analyst, the kind Coltart elsewhere in her book is rightly suspicious of: the one who, like a symptom, won’t speak his mind. Nina Coltart, who speaks her mind ...”

“... text of Southey’s flaming youth was nicely synchronised with two Quarterly Review articles, anonymous but easily exposed as his: one against the new political reformers, the other denouncing ‘the rise and progress of popular disaffection’. The juxtaposition was a ready-made cartoon: it needed no comment, only somebody to point, and found its man in ...”

“... taken from press cuttings and newspaper correspondence columns, are hard to judge. Many remain anonymous and, as she notes, the literate are over-represented. They are mere glimpses of lives. Sharing grievances was one way for servants in different households to realise their collective interests, but these are public voices, energised by breaking ...”

“... process and to supervise the pot’s sale in the marketplace. Without Athena’s support, the anonymous poet claims, other supernatural forces may threaten the potter’s livelihood. We must also reconsider the territorial element of the polis. The Athenians were very proud of their land, Attica, in ways that can seem highly nationalist to us. For ...”

“... has only this grave.’ In many modern cases, counter to older traditions, graves in the earth are anonymous and collective, while graves in the air are individual and named – that’s why it’s so ironic that the poem should call a grave in the air the snakeman’s ‘gift’. There is a moving continuation of this thought in the later poem ...”

“... called in to the Pentagon for a briefing on stepping up arms supplies to Ukraine. According to an anonymous US official, the meeting was about preparing for a protracted ...”

“... but in allowing a woman who had actually been raped to speak for herself (though she remained anonymous). It was broadcast four years before the publication of Susan Brownmiller’s book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, which is often credited with opening up the debate about rape, and putting male power, rather than sexual desire, at the heart of ...”

“... to Kate Millett after the publication of Sexual Politics in 1970: ‘They want Sex Pol to be anonymous so it can be the whole group talking. But I wrote it, and it’s not the movement speaking. It is me.’In her own writing, Chicago emphasises the primacy and materiality of making art. Levin’s biography addresses the life at the expense of the ...”

“... and hasn’t died out yet. In these songs the lovers, the plaintiffs, the protagonists are mostly anonymous; it’s their geography that is named and listed and described with passionate fondness. When people fail, places remain; you can always have recourse to the landscape, and it will never leave you, though you may leave it. Leaving home and returning are ...”

“... like Rossano Brazzi. On the other hand, Gardner’s character is free to have sex with many anonymous and unseen ordinary men, gypsies, servants, men glimpsed infrequently or kept off screen altogether. She pays for this freedom with her life. The film responds to the audience’s basic desire that the star can still be someone whom anyone in the ...”

“... judges, but they were not necessarily without fault themselves: a point made forcibly by another anonymous poet who took his side. Even the best books have their limitations, and Herrup seems strikingly uninterested in literature, despite the opportunity her case presents to combine the techniques of microhistory and new historicism. She has little to say ...”

“... the piece is tightly wrought, taking the medieval chanson as its unexpected literary model. The anonymous speaker’s words have an emblematic courtliness that corresponds to the heraldic scars, the result of wounds sustained underground, which emblazon his body. They strike the note for what follows: the translation of personal experience into motifs which ...”

“... experts on matters of public interest, more than two-thirds of the respondents asked to remain anonymous. What does all this mean? For one thing, it’s not a temporary resurgence of the ‘far right’ in response to economic stress, but a fundamental realignment of political culture, achieved through a combination of populism, intimidation, the ...”

“... this proved impossible, his transition was eased by the offer from what was claimed to be an ‘anonymous benefactor’ (via the vice-chancellor of Cambridge) of a support grant for two years. In effect, his jailing ended what had once promised to be an academic career as a distinguished but probably sub-Nobel physicist. Nunn May did not get a permanent ...”

What impact did these changes have on banks’ incentive to take risks? The answer was provided in 1974, around a hundred years after the introduction of limited ...”
