Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: uk_1870 Full title Law of Copyright in Works of Literature and Art Full title original language N/A Abstract A landmark treatise on the law of copyright, establishing a body of work that still has great relevance for professionals and academics today. The commentary situates the publication of the treatise in the context of the emerging trends in legal publishing in the mid- to late nineteenth century. It considers Copinger's theoretical approach to the subject of copyright, and explores the significance of the writings and work of two American jurists George Ticknor Curtis and Justice Joseph Story in shaping Copinger's attitude and approach to the copyright regime.
