Description
The Ecce Homo: A Survey in the Life and Work of Jesus Christ, published anonymously in 1865, remains a fascinating case study in the power of anonymity in publishing. This book explores the complex relationship between historian J.R. Seeley and his publisher Alexander Macmillan as they sought to keep Seeley's authorship a secret while capitalising on public interest. The reception of Ecce Homo encapsulates how Victorians came to terms with rapidly changing religious views in the second half of the nineteenth century, sparking a lively debate about the ethics of anonymous publishing. Ian Hesketh critically examines Seeley's career and public image, shedding light on this pivotal moment in the history of anonymity in book and periodical publishing. By examining Ecce Homo, readers can gain insight into the cultural significance of anonymity during this period, and how it continues to shape our understanding of authorship and publication today.
