N2  - "Addressing the concepts of originality and intellectual property from perspectives bridging law, literature, visual arts, philosophy and history, this book offers new interpretations of central issues in recent scholarship, examining how "originality"—a fundamental idea whose origins and evolution have been imperfectly understood—came to have different values and meanings."--Publisher description
