"The stupidity and invested self-interest of prominent literary
scholars are lavishly on display here in exchanged reproduced from
a Romanticism listserv or in dueling letters to the editor, which
Lauritsen forcefully contradicts in acerbic footnotes. This is a
funny, wonderful, revelatory book that I hope will inspire
ambitious graduate students and young faculty to strike blows for
truth in our mired profession, paralyzed by convention and fear. --Camille Paglia, Salon.com, 14 March 2007"

Percy offered editorial advice which Mary took selectively. Specifically Percy suggested Mary use a more elevated vocabulary, changing out pedestrian terms for scholastic counterparts. Mary largely ignored Percy's suggestions EXCEPT for the dialogue bits of the pedantic professor at the beginning of the story, whom was already an analog for Percy.

Cheeky lass.

Look I'm willing to consider it but what evidence does he actually have?
It better not just be some dumb claim that Percy and Mary conspired to pretend she wrote it for some extravagent reason
