本研究运用计算计量文体学技术，分析《弗兰肯斯坦》的作者归属，证实玛丽·雪莱为真正作者，珀西·比希·雪莱未发挥重要作用，为该争议提供了客观依据。
AI 中文摘要
《弗兰肯斯坦》这部小说于1818年匿名出版，1821年的法语译本首次将其归功于玛丽·雪莱。自出版以来，无论是当时还是近期，都有一些说法称《弗兰肯斯坦》实际上是玛丽的丈夫珀西·比希·雪莱所写。我们梳理了这一争议的背景，随后运用现代计算计量文体学技术来确定真正的作者。基于我们的分析，我们发现了极为确凿的证据，证明玛丽·雪莱确实是《弗兰肯斯坦》的真正作者，珀西·比希·雪莱极不可能在创作该文本中发挥了重要作用。尽管我们的发现证实了关于《弗兰肯斯坦》的主流学术观点，但我们的分析是首次将计量文体学技术应用于该问题，通过将该问题从传统上伴随它的一些政治因素中解放出来，为支持雪莱提供了强有力的客观依据。
英文摘要
The novel Frankenstein was published anonymously in 1818, and was first credited to Mary Shelley in a French translation of 1821. Since its publication, several claims - both contemporaneous and recent - have been made suggesting that Frankenstein was actually written by Mary's husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. We review the background of this controversy and then apply modern techniques from computational stylometry to determine who the true author is. Based on our analysis, we find extremely substantial evidence that Mary Shelley is indeed the true author of Frankenstein, and that it is very improbable that Percy Bysshe Shelley played a heavy role in composing the text. While our finding confirms mainstream scholarly opinion regarding Frankenstein, our analysis is the first application of stylometric techniques to this question and provides strong objective grounds for favouring Shelley by freeing the question from some of the politics which have traditionally accompanied it.
