dangermousieI think by now everyone knows about the Cassie Edwards (trashy romance novelist who apparently stole every bit of written material not nailed down, including encyclopedia entries, acedemic articles, and oh yes, bits from a Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel) plagiarism scandal.

But I just have to add one thing. Apparently, the latest work she plagiarized is...

Haiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
You know, the classic of American literature. The one that used to be taught in school rotuinely at least through 1950s and is probably still taught in a lot of schools now. Ummmm. And it's from the very beginning of the poem!
My God.
ETA: An author of an academic article on ferrets that Edwards lifted as part of romantic dialogue (!!!!!) writes one of the funniest articles I have ever read, commenting on the issue. Here it is.
