Negotiating Copyright: Authorship and the Discourse of Literary Property Rights in Nineteenth-Century America - Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory
Martin T. Buinicki
Demonstrates how debates over copyright law in nineteenth-century America forced authors to defend their profession and their literary property in the courts, the press and in the pages of their own texts. This book argues that the act of taking out a copyright was more than a mere legal mechanism marking a transition from amateur to professional.
