The notion of the author as the creator and therefore the first owner of a work is deeply rooted both in our economic system and in our concept of the individual. But this concept of authorship is modern. Mark Rose traces the formation of copyright in eighteenth-century Britain--and in the process highlights still current issues of intellectual property. "Authors and Owners" is at once a fascinating look at an important episode in legal history and a significant contribution to literary and cultural history.

Industry Reviews
[An] elegant and concise study. -- John Sutherland London Review of Books Serves as a model of how literary theory can breathe new life into a well-known and perhaps even fashionable subject by endowing it with conceptual discipline. Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 An elegant book; stylishly written, pleasingly designed and meticulously documented and researched. -- Jane Dorner Times Higher Education Supplement [Rose's] erudite book is not a practitioner's manual nor an exposition of modern copyright law, but is a valuable contribution to the history and philosophy of copyright. -- William L. Hayhurst Canadian Business Law Journal
