Combining traditional scholarship with modern technology, Foster has discovered how to unlock that code and, in the process, has invented an entire field of investigation--literary forensics--by which it becomes possible to catch anonymous authors as they ultimately betray their identities with their own words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoster's unique skills first came to light when a front-page \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003earticle announced his discovery that a previously unattributed poem was written by Shakespeare.
