Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Exploring critical legal issues and cases of the period--from Oscar Wilde's prosecution for gross indecency to legal bans on such publications as D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness, and James Joyce's Ulysses--Modernism and the Law is the first book to survey the legal contexts of transatlantic Anglo-American modernist culture. Written by one of the leading authorities on the subject, the book covers such topics as: 1) Obscenity laws and censorship; 2) Copyrights, moral rights, and the public domain; 3) Patronage and literary piracy; 4) Privacy, defamation, publicity, and blackmail. Including an annotated list of relevant statutes, treaties, and |

cases, this is an essential read for scholars and students coming to the subject for the first time as well as for experienced scholars."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
