Reviews

'Eli MacLaren deftly guides the reader through the complex history of copyright in Canada... This meticulous study would be of interest to scholars studying book history and Canadian literature and history.' -- Alison Rukavina * Modern Language Review vol 108:01:2013 * 'Dominion and Agency should be essential reading for book historians and legal historians alike. It should also serve as a cautionary tale for contemporary Canadian policymakers as the vestiges of this history remain part of our copyright story to this day.' -- Myra J. Tawfik * Papers of the Bibliographic Society of Canada vol 50:02; 2012 * 'Eli MacLaren's book deftly guides the reader through the complex history of copyright in Canada... This meticulous study would be of interest to scholars studying book history and Canadian literature and history.' -- Alison Rukavina * Modern Language Review; vol 108:01:2013 *
