Are legal concepts of intellectual property and copyright
related to artistic notions of invention and originality? Do
literary and legal scholars have anything to learn from each other,
or should the legal debate be viewed as separate from questions of
aesthetics? Bridging what are usually perceived as two distinct
areas of inquiry, this interdisciplinary volume begins with a
reflection on the origins of literary and legal questions in the
Enlightenment to consider their ramifications in the
post-Enlightenment and contemporary world. Tying in to the growing
scholarly interest in connections between law and literature, on
the one hand, and to the contemporary interrogation of originality
and authorship, on the other hand, the present volume furthers
research in the field by providing a dense study of the legal and
historical context to re-examine our current assumptions about
supposed earlier Enlightenment and Romantic ideals of individual
authorship and originality.
