Pseudonimi ed eteronimi di scrittori romani

This paper examines strategies of authorial concealment – namely pseudonymy and heteronymy – in Romanesco dialect literature. It analyzes a corpus of 214 fictitious names identified in anthologies, catalogues, and bibliographic compilations of dialectal literature and poetry, as well as through targeted research in the Schedario Lazio of the Rivista di Dialettologia Italiana and in Google Books. The study aims to offer a comprehensive interpretive framework for this phenomenon, with particular emphasis on the functions, structures, and rhetorical uses of the pseudonyms and heteronyms surveyed.
