Authorship and Copyright

By David M. Saunders

Law and literature are both products of their particular social context. Law relating to literature, and to the written word generally, has traditionally been assigned two mainstream interpretations: the romantic dialectical birth of the author or the language-based post-structuralist death of the author. This book examines the shortcomings of both schemes by arguing that they impose an arbitrary philosophical direction on the works discussed.
