Authors and Owners by Mark Rose
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 eighteenth-century Britainand in the process highlights still current issues of intellectual property.
[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. -- Richard Wendorf * 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 *
