Introduction to the Attribution of Literature describes the first unbiased and accessible authorship attribution method, and uses it to present the first accurate re-attribution of 311 canonical texts from the 18th century to only 10 ghostwriters, and 323 texts from the 19th century to 11 ghostwriters. For example, the little-known Sir Francis Cowley Burnand is chronologically, stylometrically, and with handwriting analysis, proven to be the ghostwriter behind 55 canonical tested texts, including "Emily Bronte's" Wuthering Heights, "Collins'" Woman in White, "Doyle's" Sherlock Holmes, "Kipling's" Captain Courageous, "Stoker's" Dracula, "Anthony Trollope's" American Senator, "Wells'" Island of Doctor Moreau, "Wilde's" Picture of Dorian Gray, and "Dickens'" Great Expectations. This method applies a combination of 23 to 28 different types of punctuation, parts-of-speech, and lexical linguistic tests. Parts of this book offer extensive statistical evidence in support of why this method’s findings are quantitatively reliable. If preceding attribution methods had been equally reliable; then, they would have also concluded canonical British texts have been overwhelmingly ghostwritten. A section in this book explains the methodological flaws of these preceding attribution approaches, because of which they have incorrectly reaffirmed their canonically-accepted bylines. It includes definitions of central stylometric terminology, and explains how readers can apply the described strategies to their own attribution research at any academic level.
“I found it an education.”
Larry Niven, best-selling Nebula, Hugo and Locus award-winner
“I am delighted to see the publication of Volume I of her fascinating and controversial reattribution project. It is no secret that challenging traditional beliefs and assumptions, regardless of the field, is typically met with criticism. Yet, we know that discovery and enlightenment are always led by risk takers who can see what others cannot see. Thoroughly researched and well written, Faktorovich’s Introduction to the Attribution of Literature explains her methodology in determining the true authorship of many post-Renaissance works. It is a valuable contribution to English literature and to the field of philology.”
Lesly F. Massey, PhD
“Dr. Anna Faktorovich’s re-attribution studies expose previous fraudulent authorship claims for much of the ‘ghostwritten’ literature in the Western canon. She has examined evidence in handwriting and biographical data to uncover the true identities of the authorship of many of the bylines in respective centuries. The results are astonishing and, I believe, could outmode and transform the current paradigms of both literary theory and criticism.”
Dr. Louis Gallo, Professor Emeritus, Radford University
