Summary:

How was modernism shaped by copyright law? How did modernists, for their part, exploit, reform, and evade intellectual property law? In pursuit of these questions, this book brings together essays by well-known scholars of literature, theatre, cinema, music and law as well as by practicing lawyers and caretakers of modernist literary estates.
