I was reading a modern Russian novel the other day, and in the foreword the editor was saying that in this novel a reader would find hidden quotes from various famous Russian authors whose names were then listed. I am sure any of us can provide multiple examples of "borrowing" from other authors in literature, music, film, even in academic papers. Why are we so obsessed with student plagiarism?
