Copyright looms large in the digital world. As users and creators
of expressive works, we all know more about copyright than we did a
decade ago. But scholars of modernism have felt a special urgency
in grappling with this branch of law, whose rapid expansion in
recent years has prolonged or revived the rights in many modernist
works. Indeed, thanks to public clashes between estates and users,
'modernism' has lately begun to seem like a byword for contested
intellectual property. At the same time, today's volatile legal
climate has prompted us to ask how modernism was, from its
beginning, shaped by intellectual property law-and how modernists
sought variously to exploit, reform, anoint, and evade copyright.
We are beginning to discover, too, how copyright's transatlantic
and imperial asymmetries during the modernist decades helped set
the stage for its geopolitical role in the new millennium.
Modernism and Copyright is the first book to take up these
questions and discoveries in all their urgency. A truly
multi-disciplinary study, it brings together essays by well-known
scholars of literature, theater, cinema, music, and law as well as
by practicing lawyers and caretakers of modernist literary estates.
Its contributors' methods are as diverse as the works they discuss:
Ezra Pound's copyright statute and Charlie Parker's bebop
compositions feature here, as do early Chaplin, EverQuest, and the
Madison Avenue memo. As our portrait of modernism expands and
fragments, Modernism and Copyright locates works like these on one
of the few landscapes they all clearly share: the uneven terrain of
intellectual property law.
