Table of ContentsReviewsFar beyond a purely legal study, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall, in a truly interdisciplinary fashion, analyzes philosophical, psychological, cultural and, yes, theological reasons why authors, even in our postmodern world, merit protection of their moral or spiritual interests. -Adolf Dietz, International Review of Intellectual Property and Copyright Law Roberta Kwall is one of our country's leading advocates for bringing Continental European moral rights-the legal protection of authors' expressive autonomy and personal connectedness with their creative work-into US copyright law, a regime steeped in a utilitarian understanding that too readily overlooks the noneconomic aspects of creation and expression. In this lucid and eloquently argued book, Kwall presents a clarion call for recognizing moral rights and a nuanced, concrete blueprint for how they might be adopted in the United States in a manner consonant with our copyright and free speech traditions. - Neil Netanel, UCLA School of Law Roberta Kwall's new book on moral rights is a definitive treatment of the subject as well as a splendid addition to the literature on intellectual property. Kwall brings to her undertaking an impressive mastery of the complex tensions that can arise when a work of art lodges in the hearts and minds of the public. How much public recognition is an artist entitled to expect? And what is to be done when public appropriation and the passage of time result in threats to debase, degrade or even to destroy the original work or the reputation of its creator? Whether in the United States or abroad, answers to questions like these can often seem murky and uncertain. Kwall's responses, which are addressed primarily to changes she sees as necessary in American law, are nevertheless also carefully considered against a background of international conventions. She advances her proposals gently, respectfully, fairly, and powerfully. The result is a creative work in its own right, and one that (like its author) deserves the fullest recognition. -David Lange, Duke University School of Law Roberta Kwall's new book on moral rights is a definitive treatment of the subject as well as a splendid addition to the literature on intellectual property. Kwall advances her proposals gently, respectfully, fairly, and powerfully. - David Lange, Duke University School of Law Author InformationRoberta Rosenthal Kwall is the Raymond P. Niro Professor of Intellectual Property Law and the Founding Director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information Technology at DePaul University College of Law.
