Product Description
Review
[An] elegant and concise study. -- John Sutherland London Review of Books Serves as a model of how literary theory can breathe new life into a well-known and perhaps even fashionable subject by endowing it with conceptual discipline. Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 An elegant book; stylishly written, pleasingly designed and meticulously documented and researched. -- Jane Dorner Times Higher Education Supplement [Rose's] erudite book is not a practitioner's manual nor an exposition of modern copyright law, but is a valuable contribution to the history and philosophy of copyright. -- William L. Hayhurst Canadian Business Law Journal
Product Description
The notion of the author as the creator and therefore the first owner of a work is deeply rooted both in our economic system and in our concept of the individual. But this concept of authorship is modern. Mark Rose traces its formation in 18th-century Britain - and in the process highlights still current issues of intellectual property. "Authors and Owners" is at once a look at an important episode in legal history and a contribution to literary and cultural history.
