Janet Todd in today’s Guardian (my emphasis):
In a report about Jane Austen, the Oxford professor Kathryn Sutherland is quoted as saying that "much of the credit for her elegant prose must go to publisher's reader and editor William Gifford" (Dashing Austen was not such a stylish writer, 23 October). Sutherland's story of the diminished female author and stylish male editor has been on the Today programme and in every national newspaper; it has circled the globe with headlines such as "Jane Austen's ghostwriter" and "Jane Austen: ¿una 'impostora'?".
Up to a point, Lord Copper.
A Google News search for "Jane Austen's ghostwriter" produces just one hit – which happens to be for this very article.
International interest from the Spanish-speaking media? A similar search for "Jane Austen: ¿una 'impostora'?" also produces just one result, which happens to be from the BBC’s Spanish service BBC Mundo.
