His best writing is entirely negative creation. Anonymity was at its root. The initially authorless life of Gulliver’s Travels was part of its author’s design.’’ Mr. Mullan does not follow up these astute insights. While he devotes a chapter to ‘‘Danger,’’ in some cases he hastily dismisses the pressures of censorship and self-censorship in anonymous publications. In his treatment of the Travels, for example, he emphasizes the playfulness of Swift’s elaborate plots to cloak his authorship. Not all of the dean’s stratagems of selfconcealment can be reduced to teasing or taunting, however; for the Scriblerians, anonymity was not merely a game. Swift enjoyed toying with his readers, but his caution was as much prudential as playful. Indeed, Pope’s remark in a letter to Swift that ‘‘none, bar ‘the mob of criticks’ . . . ‘suspected [Gulliver’s Travels] of particular reflections . . . so that you needed not to have been so secret on this head’’ indicates the degree of Swift’s anxiety over publishing a topical satire. Finally, Mr. Mullan is not the first to have written on anonymity, yet he overlooks or minimizes Foucault, Marcy North, Paul Hammond, and Donald Foster, who have published on this topic. Anonymity, nevertheless, is a fascinating survey of anonymous literature from the Renaissance forward. Rendered in clean, vigorous prose, it wears its learning lightly and will interest scholars, students, and general readers. Randy Robertson Susquehanna University

These adjustments did not simply reflect shortcomings in Penn's theory, but were symptomatic of the 'indeterminate and contested' nature of the 'phenomena of which theory is constituted'that is, the inevitable 'flux at the very heart of politics'. Clearly, Murphy's primary audience is in political science. However, especially given his explicit concern for the fuller contextualisation of Penn's thought, his work would have benefitted from greater consideration of the impact of Penn's theology on that thought. For example, regarding Penn's argument that genuine faith could never be the result of coercion, Murphy stresses that he was exhorting 'mature understanding and deliberate consideration'. Yet Penn's belief in what he termed the 'self evidenceing [sic] verity' of Christianity (Great case, ) fundamentally arose out of his belief in the immediate guidance of the inward Light of Christ, and was articulated in the context of a wider theological dispute regarding the Quakers' commitment to the necessity of belief in the historical Jesus. Similarly, Penn's emphasis on high moral standards and his understanding of conscience in terms of duty towards God, alongside his minimalist approach to the basic doctrinal requirements for toleration, echo Quaker demands for obedience to the Light and the believer's potential for sanctification. What effect did Penn's theology have on his navigation between ideological and pragmatic commitments? However, this should not detract from Murphy's contribution. His interrogation of assumptions regarding canonicity, and his refusal to draw clear lines between Penn's life, performance and ideas, are relevant far beyond the realm of political scienceand to this end his work will undoubtedly have a captive readership among students of early Quakerism, the broader tolerationist movement, colonial and transatlantic history, and the religious and political milieus of the later seventeenth century.
