- Involved the location and analysis of over 15 case studies of twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary hoax and false memoir, alongside other examples of an undecidable status. As well as the extent and international reach of the research that this topic entailed, some of the works were by definition hard to access where they had been withdrawn either just before or soon after publication. The complex literary and contextual analysis of several examples in each category of hoax or false memoir took place at sufficient depth to generate a new conclusion, in arguing for the cultural value of such works.
