The attribution of early-nineteenth-century English fiction is notoriously problematic. Fewer than half of new novels published in Britain between 1800 and 1829 had the author’s true name printed on the title page. Most of these titles have subsequently
line been attributed, either through the authors own acknowledgment of a previously
5 anonymous or pseudonymous work or through bibliographical research. One important tool available to researchers is the list of earlier works "by the author" often found on title pages. But such lists are as likely to create new confusion as they are to solve old problems. Title pages were generally prepared last in the publication process, often without full authorial assent, and in the last-minute rush to press, mistakes were fre-
10 quently made.
Description
The passage discusses the reasons why identifying the authors of early-nineteenth-century British fiction poses significant challenges. The passage explains that lew authors during this period used their real names and goes on to describe how title pages can facilitate—but also hamper—efforts to attribute these works.
The passage suggests that which of the following factors contributes to the "notoriously problematic"(line 1)nature of authorial attribution in early-nineteenth-century English fiction?
选项
A、The unwillingness of any writers to acknowledge their authorship of works that were originally published anonymously or pseudonymously
B、The possibility that the title page of a work may attribute works written by other authors to the author of that work
C、The possibility that the authors name printed on a title page is fictitious
答案
B,C
解析
Choices B and C are correct.
Choice A is incorrect: the passage mentions that the attribution of early-nineteenth-century fiction was sometimes achieved when the author came forward to acknowledge a previously anonymous work(lines 4-5), so Choice A can be eliminated.
Choice B is correct: in lines 5-7, the passage mentions that "one important tool available to researchers is the list of earlier works ’by the author’ often found on title pages," but goes on to say that these title pages were prepared hastily and "frequently" contained mistakes(lines 8-10). Since the mistake most likely to "create new confusion" would be the inclusion of works not written by the author, Choice B may be inferred.
Choice C is correct: in lines 2-3, the passage states, "Fewer than half of the new novels published in Britain... had the author’s true name printed on the title page." Line 5 suggests that pseudonyms — fictitious names—were commonly used. Hence, Choice C may be inferred.
