BRRAM Series

BRRAM changes world-history & offers 18 great previously inaccessible books such as first Old English dictionary and the only verse version of the "Book of Job"

QUANAH, TX, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new computational-linguistic author-attribution method was applied to 303 different Renaissance texts, and all of them fell into only 6 linguistic groups. The data is publicly-accessible here: https://github.com/faktorovich/Attribution Comparing biographies to the publication dates indicated that these ghostwriters were: Ben Jonson, William Percy, Richard Verstegan, Gabriel Harvey, Josuah Sylvester and William Byrd. The now available for sale 20 volumes of the newly-published “British Renaissance Re-Attribution and Modernization” series (BRRAM): https://anaphoraliterary.com/attribution present overwhelming proof for these re-assignments. Volumes 1-2 present the linguistic, structural, and other technical evidence. Parts I-III translate into Modern English for the first-time great texts that have been inaccessible until now, and thus have prevented scholars from seeing similarities in style between texts such as those with the “Shakespeare”-byline and Percy’s. Part I’s Volumes 3-8 present self-attributed comedies, tragedies and sonnets of Percy. Part II’s Volumes 9-17 solve “Attribution Mysteries”, such as re-attributing and translating for the first time the first quarto of “Hamlet” (the second quarto and first folio editions are those commonly read in school). Part II also provides evidence to re-attribute the “William Cavendish”-bylined "Variety" comedy to Jonson, the “Samuel Brandon”-bylined "Virtuous Octavia" tragicomedy to Harvey, and variedly-bylined (including pieces from “Shakespeare”, “Raleigh” and “Dyer”) verse in an anthology to Byrd. And Part III’s Volumes 18-20 present self-attributed books from the ghostwriters: Verstegan’s first Old English dictionary and Anglo-Saxon mythology-foundation, "A Restitution for Decayed Intelligence in Antiquities" (1605), Gabriel Harvey’s Latin (and now translated into English for the first time) satire about pseudonyms, "Smith: Or, The Tears of the Muses" (1578) and Sylvester’s first and only verse English translation of the "Book of Job" and the absurd fantasy "Woodman’s Bear" (1620).

This series is cataloged in the World Shakespeare Bibliography and in the Play Index (EBSCO). A few sections out of BRRAM have been published in scholarly journals. “Manipulation of Theatrical Audience-Size: Nonexistent Plays and Murderous Lenders” was published in "Critical Survey", Issue 34.1, Spring 2022. “‘Michael Cavendish’s’ '14 Airs in Tablature to the Lute' (1598)” was published in "East-West Cultural Passage", Volume 22, Issue 2, December 2022. The "Journal of Information Ethics" published two articles on Faktorovich’s re-attribution method: “Publishers and Hack Writers: Signs of Collaborative Writing in the ‘Defoe’ Canon” (Fall 2020) and “Falsifications and Fabrications in the Standard Computational-Linguistics Authorial-Attribution Methods: A Comparison of the Methodology in ‘Unmasking’ with the 28-Tests” (Spring 2022).
