Anonymous Works

Anonymous works are creations—such as books, music, or art—produced without the author’s or creator’s name being disclosed. This could be intentional, to emphasize the work itself rather than the creator, or due to reasons like fear of persecution or desire for privacy. In some cases, the identity of the creator may simply be lost over time. Legal protections for anonymous works can vary, especially concerning copyright, making it essential for society to regard them as important contributions to culture and history, even when we don’t know who made them.
