Reviews

'Derek Miller's superb study examines how live performances of drama and music became objects of legally protected commodification between 1770 and 1911. In addition to his extended treatment of nearly a dozen major legal cases, Miller supplies a wealth of material from dozens of minor disputes as well as some wonderful archival finds from case files. Copyright and the Value of Performance will be important for literary and performance historians for its expanded account of what copyright is, was, and can be.' John Shanahan, Modern Drama 'Derek Miller's superb study examines how live performances of drama and music became objects of legally protected commodification between 1770 and 1911.
