Vigorous public debate about intellectual property has a long history. In this assessment of the shifting relationships between the law and the economic, social and cultural sources of creativity and innovation during the long-nineteenth century, Megan Richardson and Julian Thomas examine the 'fashioning' of the law by focusing on emblematic cases, key legislative changes and broader debates. Along the way, the authors highlight how, in 'the age of journalism', the press shaped, and was shaped by, the idea of intellectual property as a protective crucible for improvements in knowledge and progress in the arts and sciences. The engagement in our own time between intellectual property and the creative industries remains volatile and unsettled. As the authors conclude, the fresh opportunities for artistic diversity, expression and communication offered by new media could see the place of intellectual property in the scheme of law being reinvented once again.

'It is fascinating to learn how IP law came about, by demonstrating the socio-legal aspects of UK common law and emerging legislation, later adopted in the United States and other common law countries … The book is packed with helpful and detailed footnotes, case citations and historical documents - demonstrating that Richardson and Thomas must have experienced great academic pleasure when trawling through archived material not necessarily available online. … The book makes fascinating reading, useful for IP law lecturers and practitioners in this field in that one gains detailed knowledge about the background and ever evolving law of intellectual property set within a well-researched historical context of the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries.'
