Subject: RE: BS: Novel by a dead woman
If you bought the manuscript, you own it. It wasn't published. I think you'll find there are distinctions here that make this not your usual copyright question. I think you could publish it with her name on it, no problem. If you published it with your name on it, that might be less ethicial, but I know of people who do that all of the time. It's called ghost writing.
