The main entry should state that it's very likely that he published MSL, but:

   "...although he has often suggested as its author - most
     recently, strongly and publicly in "The Erotomaniac" 
     by Ian Gibson" - this has not been proven..."

[edit] Charles Augustus Swinburne?

Is Algernon Charles Swinburne meant here??

[edit] My Secret Life
