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.
