Published anonymously in 1823, ""The Night Before Christmas"" has
traditionally been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863),
who included it in his Poems (1844). But descendants of Henry
Livingston (1748-1828) claim that he read it to his children as his
own creation long before Moore is alleged to have composed it. This
book evaluates the opposing arguments and for the first time uses
the author-attribution techniques of modern computational
stylistics to settle the long-standing controversy. Both writers
left substantial bodies of verse, which are analyzed for
distinguishing characteristics. Employing a range of tests and
introducing a new one-statistical analysis of phonemes-this study
identifies the true author and makes a significant contribution to
the growing field of attribution studies.
