“... Penelope); to some I gave names of my own (Princess Anne, the Asian Flu); most of them remained as anonymous to me as I was to them. At all times I was conscious of being the object of their professional concern, and, occasionally, of something stranger, their professional tenderness. Only at the rarest moments, however, was any sense of my individuality ...”

“... diluted, adds sparkle and freshness to a little book which deserves to be more widely known, the anonymous Disciple de Pantagruel. There is not a great deal of ordinary, unpretentious everyday reading from the 1540s or 1550s which is available to be read today. This edition by Professor Demerson and Dr Lauvergnat-Gagnière – a model of discreet and exact ...”

“... and craftsmanlike, and as useful for the future, as it possibly could be. Most of the book’s anonymous stories speak to the third charge. Every few pages some Justice is at work flattering another Justice in hopes of winning more influence within the Court, or trimming some opinion he is drafting in order to persuade some other Justice to join his ...”

“... when someone can be got to say it (even though in the large majority of cases these sources remain anonymous). The strength of this technique is to be found in the large number of interesting nuggets of information he offers about, for example, the complex in-fighting within the Washington defence and intelligence bureaucracies. A lot of this information could ...”

“... from specific institutions to the collectivity. Macaulay, says Burrow, did not understand the anonymous. His successors did, and understood as well that the happy Whig story of progress could not be limited to the triumph of the Reform Bill of 1832. With the idea of nation went an emphasis, implicit all along, on the special, nearly divinely-ordained ...”

“... them to work against gravity. All these horrors Mitford blames on men. And she is not alone. An anonymous hand, she reports, has added to the index of Williams Obstetrics (1980) the following entry: ‘Chauvinism, male, voluminous amounts, pages 1-1102.’ If gravid women have suffered at the hands of medical science, midwives have fared even worse. ‘All ...”

Ghosh provides personalities for a few of these workers, village friends who abruptly leave home for Baghdad. We see the logic of their departures and returns, their stunning ...”

“... for example. This would make deconstruction, rather attractively, into a kind of Alcoholics Anonymous for repentant romantics (take it one text at a time). At the end we are invited to attain a position of ‘Bewildered Enlightenment’. No, it’s ‘Enlightened Beguilement’. But the idea is roughly speaking the same: we are to be in love with ...”

In late 1888, he received 2800 marks from anonymous friends to help defray publishing costs and ‘to make up for mankind’s sins against you’. Schaberg‘s principal source throughout is Nietzsche’s correspondence; his letters to publishers and friends deal in extenso with all aspects of his ...”

“... mentions Savile Row. The master-tailors she admires, as the bearers of modernity, remain shadowy, anonymous figures, nameless craftsmen rather than would-be artists and creators like the couturiers. In fact, however, the careers of Henry Creed or Henry Poole, who more than any others gave Savile Row its international reputation, ran in parallel with that of ...”

“... hardly noticeable; like personal grief among paid wailers, it gets lost in the shuffle and becomes anonymous and safe. This is the model for the food chain: the elements of feed, cowshit and what-have-you, get lost in the shuffle by the time we sit down to the Delmonico or T-bone; likewise we are blind to the copulation of chickens and the habits of pigs when ...”
