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.

the legal debate be viewed as separate from questions of

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

Mock Ritual in the Modern Era explores the complex interrelations
between ritual and mockery, the latter of which is not infrequently
the unofficial face of claims to rationality. McGinnis and Smyth
consider how the mocking and parodying of ritual often associated
with modern rationalism may itself become ritualized, and other
ways in which supposedly sham ritual may survive its "outing." This
volume traces the evolution of "mock ritual" in various forms
throughout the modern era, as found in literary, historical, and
anthropological texts as well as encyclopedias, newspapers, and
films. Mock Ritual in the Modern Era places famous eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century authors in dialogue with contemporary popular
culture, from Diderot, Sterne, and Flaubert to the TV shows
Survivor and Judge Judy, and from Voltaire to the Charlie Hebdo
tragedy of 2015. Ritualistic and mock ritualistic aspects of comedy
and ridicule are considered along with those, notably, of
sexuality, medicine, art, education, and justice.
