What's the opposite of plagiarism? If there's isn't a term for it, maybe we should coin one just for this.

I'm guessing they are asking about "attributing your words to others" rather than "claiming another's words as your own".
Edit to add: Forgery seems in the ballpark, but doesn't feel quite right.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Edit to add: Forgery seems in the ballpark, but doesn't feel quite right.
I agree that "forgery" doesn't quite seem right for this, although it's close. If they had claimed to have an original Twain work that was being published unedited, but was in fact a new creation, then it would fit, but they're not really hiding the fact that it's been altered.... "Appropriation" and "misrepresentation" both fit, but are overly general.
