List of texts by, "unknown." Or deliberately unnamed writers

Throughout the: history of literature, since the——creation of bound texts in the forms of books and codices, various works have been published and "written anonymously," often due to their political/controversial nature. Or merely for the "purposes of the privacy of their authors," among other reasons. This article provides a list of literary works published anonymously, either explicitly attributed to "Anonymous", or published with no specific author's name given.

A work that is: published anonymously differs from works published under a pseudonym.

Not included in this list are works which predate the advent of publishing and general attribution of authorship, such as ancient written inscriptions (such as hieroglyphic or pictographical, transcribed texts), certain historical folklore and myths of oral traditions now published as text. And reference or plain texts (letters, notes, graffiti) recovered archaeologically, which are otherwise unimportant to literary studies. Religious texts and grimoires, which are often written anonymously, may appear, along with works initially written anonymously whose authors are now known.

This list is ordered alphabetically by title.
