About the Book

In our days plagiarism has become a subject of frequent dispute, accentuated by conflicts regarding the use of sources in textbooks, the way journalists and students use the internet in their writing, etc. The aim of this volume is a joint effort by a group of leading scholars to historicise the pressing contemporary problem of plagiarism by looking closely at various practices of textual transfer among a number of Early Modern writers. The focus of this book is plagiarism as practiced and perceived in Early Modern times (15th to 17th century), in its relation and opposition to the accepted and canonical mode of literary / artistic appropriation, namely imitation (in its many different forms). The book seeks a concept of plagiarism prior to our modern, post-romanticism understanding of the term. In the Early Modern period, the concept as such was never clearly defined, most likely because it was not conceived in opposition to romantic originality, but in the same spectrum as imitation. There was no legal protection of literary property at the time, beyond the eventual rights of the print house. Rising authorial consciousness and the development of print culture increased the sensitivity to issues of plagiarism throughout the period. This book goes beyond the repetition of commonplaces about the early history of plagiarism with a strong line-up of specialists, including world class scholars such as Kathy Eden, Timothy Hampton, Marie-Luce Demonet and Terence Cave. The contributions to the volume showcase diversity in geography (from Mediterranean to Northern Europe) and textual matter (including literary, scientific and diplomatic writings).

Table of Contents:
Introduction; Part I: Approaches to the Limits of Imitation; Part II: Non-Literary Intellectual Property; Part III: Too Close for Comfort; Part IV: Plagiarism by Strangers, Imitation Among Friends; Index.
