     At one and the same time, the same person might well be in favour of discursive anonymity in the case of a text like the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion while declaring a social right and need to identify the author of a text such as The Garden of Fascism. Indeed, the higher ethical demand in the case of persecuted authors is not for a rearguard policy of anonymity but to ensure that an individual may write onymously without threat of reprisal: pseudonymity and dissimulation being within the grasp of most authors, the freedom to identify oneself as the author of a particular discourse is commonly assumed as a right of citizenship. To recommend anonymity per se is complicit with or at least acquiescent before the very totalitarian forces that provoke such a consideration in the first place.

     If someone happened to be posting insults about Americans from a US
     account onymously, would that someone no longer qualify as a disafftected,
     damned, detestable rebellious expat?

     Jane Austen’s “name” is built of layers of novel titles: Sense and Sensibility (1811), famously, was “By a Lady,” but Pride and Prejudice, two years later, officially christened “the author of Sense and Sensibility.”¹⁶ Emma (1816), the last novel published in her lifetime, awarded Austen the authorial “etcetera”: “by the Author of Pride and Prejudice &c. &c.”¹⁷ […] Persuasion and Northanger Abbey appeared posthumously with Henry Austen’s “Biographical Notice of the Author” — the 1818 Nelson Classic edition was published onymously.
