Today

Available for over a year

Time magazine has had to issue a correction to an article about the 100 most read female authors in colleges. They conceded that "the original version of this story included Evelyn Waugh, who is a man". Professor Valentine Cunningham, from Oxford University, explains the long history of the author being confused for someone of the opposite sex.
