The trouble with ownership -- pt. 2. The dangerous fate of authors. 330 $aCopyright and intellectual property issues are intricately woven into any written work, but the precise nature of this relationship has plagued authors, printers, and booksellers for centuries. What does it mean to own the products of our intellectual labors in our own time? And what was the meaning three centuries ago, when copyright laws were first put into place?Jody Greene argues that while "owning" one's book is critical to the development of modern notions of authorship, studies of authorial property rights have in fact lost sight of the most critical valence of owning in early modern England: that is, owning up to or taking responsibility for one's work. Greene puts forth what she calls a "paranoid theory of copyright," under which literary property rights are a means of state regulation to assign responsibility for printed works, to identify one person who will step forward and claim the work in exchange for the right to reap the benefits of the literary marketplace. Blending research from legal, historical, and literary archives and drawing on the troubled authorial careers of figures such as Roger L'Estrange, Elizabeth Cellier, Daniel Defoe, John Gay, and Alexander Pope, The Trouble with Ownership looks to the literary culture of early modern England to reveal the intimate relationship between proprietary authorship and authorial liability. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiability (Law)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiability (Law)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCopyright$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aCopyright$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAuthorship$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAuthorship$xHistory$y18th century 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiability (Law)$xHistory 615 0$aLiability (Law)$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCopyright$xHistory 615 0$aCopyright$xHistory 615 0$aAuthorship$xHistory 615 0$aAuthorship$xHistory 676 $a820.9/3554/09032 700 $aGreene$b Jody$01575517 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781880803321 996 $aThe trouble with ownership$93852547 997 $aUNINA
