Through a series of vivid case studies, Authors in Court charts the
300-year-long dance between authorship and copyright that has
shaped each institution's response to changing social norms of
identity, privacy, and celebrity. "A literary historian by
training, Rose is completely at home in the world of law, as well
as the history of photography and art. This is the work of an
interdisciplinary scholar at the height of his powers. The
arguments are sophisticated and the elegant text is a work of real
craftsmanship. It is superb." -Lionel Bently, University of
Cambridge "Authors in Court is well-written, erudite, informative,
and engaging throughout. As the chapters go along, we see the way
that personalities inflect the supposedly impartial law; we see the
role of gender in authorial self-fashioning; we see some of the
fault lines which produce litigation; and we get a nice history of
the evolution of the fair use doctrine. This is a book that should
at least be on reserve for any IP-related course. Going forward, no
one writing about any of the cases Rose discusses can afford to
ignore his contribution." -Lewis Hyde, Kenyon College
