Publisher's Note
Baines (English language and literature, U. of Liverpool) balances his treatment between literary and criminal forgery as they were practiced, constructed, and theorized in the context of the new documents of finance such as bills of exchange and promissory notes. He looks both at patterns in the 400 prosecutions during the period 1717-80, and some of the more notorious examples. He also considers such literary forgers as Lader, Macpherson, and Chatterton in the context of developing areas of literary practice such as scholarly editing, historiography, and antiquarianism. Not claiming the two kinds are identical, he finds unexpected connections between them through the economics of literature. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
