How was modernism shaped, from its beginning, by intellectual
property law? What role did the law's imperial and transatlantic
asymmetries play in modernism's dissemination? How did various
modernists exploit, reform, anoint, and evade copyright? And how is
the study of modernism today being affected by expanding copyright
regimes?

Modernism and Copyright is the first book to take up these
questions. A truly multi-disciplinary study, it brings together
essays by 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
films, EverQuest, and the Madison Avenue memo. As our portrait of
modernism expands and fragments, Modernism and Copyright locates
works such as these on one of the few landscapes they all clearly
share: the uneven terrain of intellectual property law.
