The Discovery of International Authorship Around 1850

  • Alexander Nebrig

摘要

With the conclusion of the first bilateral treaties around 1850 (e.g., France and Great Britain), copyright became internationally relevant, and international authorship emerged. It is no coincidence that Karl Marx and Frederick Engels addressed the proletarians of all countries around 1850. At the same time, it can be observed in Europe how internationally successful authors (Berthold Auerbach in Germany, Charles Dickens in England) were attempting to authorize their translations and were driving forward the further internationalization of copyright. As I show with letters and contemporary debates, this is not only about translation rights, but also about the reprinting of British and German-language literature in the USA.
