Reviews

<br> Modernism and Copyright places copyright at the center of modernist art, modernist theories of art, and modern ideas of ownership. For that alone, it is an important book. But these essays take us much further: they show convincingly that the laws and customs of intellectual property are crucial to our most significant political and aesthetic concepts such as generation, tradition, authenticity, community, and privacy. --Rebecca L.
