Industry Reviews First published in 1991 by Oxford U. Press. Stewart (English, Temple U.) focuses on specific "crimes in writing," including the forgeries of George Psalmanazar; the production of "fakelore"; the ballad scandals of the 18th and 19th centuries; and contemporary legislation regarding graffiti and pornography, emphasizing the issues that arise when language is seen as a matter of property, and authorship is viewed as a sort of originality.
