Stylometric Networks and Fake Authorships

This paper addresses two problems: (a) whether and how tools developed to analyze network structures can be applied to the stylometric analysis of texts or text corpora and specifically to authorship attribution problems; and (b) whether it is possible to sample text fragments of an author A so as to imitate the style of an author B. The sample corpora in this study comprise 10–500 English novels from the 19th and 20th centuries.
