Description

"Derived from his current course at HLS, Pearl considered how literary titans such as Twain, Dickens, Poe, and Whitman confronted copyright transitions in their time. From copyright clubs and associations that transformed the intellectual property map, to modern rhetoric about intellectual property and the large role it may continue to play separate from legal realities.
