Questions of Authorship: attribution and beyond

We are very pleased to announce that the winner of the Roberto Busa Award for the year 2001 is Emeritus Professor John F Burrows of the University of Newcastle, Australia. Professor Burrows has made a substantial contribution to the development and application of statistical and computing tools for the analysis of literary texts. His seminal work on features of style in Jane Austen's writings spawned a whole new field of textual scholarship and his numerous publications on computational stylistics and authorship attribution have been an inspiration to a generation of scholars.
