Labeling forgery the "criminal sibling" of criticism, Grafton describes a panorama of remarkable individuals-forgers from classical Greece through the recent past-who produced a variety of splendid triumphs of learning and style, as well as the scholarly detectives who honed the tools of scholarship in attempts to unmask these skillful fakers. In the process, Grafton discloses the extent, the coherence, and the historical interest of two significant and tightly intertwined strands in the Western intellectual tradition Notes First edition published in 1990 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 14, 2019) Subject Literary forgeries and mystifications -- History Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) -- History Learning and scholarship -- History.
