I was going to correct the attribution of Sir John Chiverton to Ainsworth, because Aston - the alleged "collaborator" - wrote a fairly sharp letter to The Times about it after it cited the work as Ainsworth's in its obituary. Aston seems very positive that SJC was entirely his. He admits he and Ainsworth were friends, and shared literary interests at the time of publication: but says his name alone is on the title page of the first edition and Ainsworth was merely the publisher of the re-issue. He adds in support that when Ainsworth was feted at the Manchester banquet shortly before his death SJC was not included on the souvenir booklet listing his works. (JOHN P. ASTON. "The Late Mr. Harrison Ainsworth." Times [London, England] 10 Jan. 1882: 11.)
Aston sounds pretty sure of himself to me, but is there some other evidence I'm unaware of, suggesting the work actually was a collaboration? RLamb (talk) 19:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
NSTC gives it as a collaboration, so I guess we ignore Aston's angry letter to The Times.RLamb (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
