Joseph Loewenstein traces the emergence of possessive authorship from the establishment of a printing industry in England to the passage of the 1710 Statute of Anne, which provided the legal underpinnings for modern copyright. Along the way he demonstrates that the culture of books, including the idea of the author, is intimately tied to the practical trade of publishing those books. As Loewenstein shows, copyright is a form of monopoly that developed alongside a range of related protections such as commercial trusts, manufacturing patents, and censorship, and cannot be understood apart from them. The regulation of the press pitted competing interests and rival monopolistic structures against one another-guildmembers and nonprofessionals, printers and booksellers, authors and publishers. These struggles, in turn, crucially shaped the literary and intellectual practices of early modern authors, as well as early capitalist economic organization. With its probing look at the origins of modern copyright, The Author's Due will prove to be a watershed for historians, literary critics, and legal scholars alike. 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aPrinting$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aBook industries and trade$xLaw and legislation$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aPrinting industry$xLaw and legislation$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aCopyright$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aIntellectual property$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aAuthorship$xHistory 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 610 $aprinting, copyright, plagiarism, intellectual property, piracy, publishing, literature, law, history, nonfiction, possessive authorship, statute of anne, books, author, capitalism, booksellers, competition, press, regulation, censorship, manufacturing patents, commercial trusts, protection, monopoly, guild structure, book trade, john wolfe, intervention, genius, wise forgeries, reproduction, international, shakespeare. 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory. 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory. 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aPrinting industry$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aCopyright$xHistory. 615 0$aIntellectual property$xHistory. 615 0$aAuthorship$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a070.5/0942 676 $a070.50942 700 $aLoewenstein$b Joseph$f1952-$01507200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780992703321 996 $aThe author's due$93737729 997 $aUNINA
