title: Authors in Court: Scenes from the Theater of Copyright
author:  Mark Rose 
description: A literary historian by training, <b>Rose</b> is completely at home in the world of law, as well as the history of photography and art. This is the work of an interdisciplinary scholar at the height of his powers. The arguments are sophisticated and the elegant text is a work of real craftsmanship. It is superb. (Lionel Bently, University of Cambridge)<br /><br /><i>Authors in Court</i> is well-written, erudite, informative, and engaging throughout. As the chapters go along, we see the way that personalities inflect the supposedly impartial law; we see the role of gender in authorial self-fashioning; we see some of the fault lines which produce litigation; and we get a nice history of the evolution of the fair use doctrine. This is a book that should at least be on reserve for any IPrelated course. Going forward, no one writing about any of the cases <b>Rose</b> discusses can afford to ignore his contribution. (Lewis Hyde, Kenyon College)
