the Pseudonymous Henley (journered authorship)

Pseudonymous Henley, or journered authorship, refers to a literary concept where an author uses a pseudonym—an assumed name—to explore different styles, themes, or identities across various works. It allows writers to experiment or comment indirectly without revealing their true identity. This approach maintains author anonymity, fostering creative freedom and sometimes protecting privacy. Essentially, it’s like an author taking on multiple "characters" or personas through pseudonyms to broaden their expressive scope while remaining behind the scenes.
