Reforming copyright law in the imperial context proved impossible, and Canada became a prime market for foreign publishers instead. The subsequent development of the agency system of exclusive publisher-importers became a defining feature of Canadian trade publishing for most of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDominion and Agency\u003c\/em\u003e, Eli MacLaren analyses the struggle for copyright reform and the creation of a national literature using previously ignored archival sources such as the Board of Trade Papers at the National Archives of the United Kingdom. A groundbreaking study, Dominion and Agency is an important exploration of the legal and economic structures that were instrumental in the formation of today's Canadian literary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eli MacLaren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487527705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487527709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Eli MacLaren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073706684671,"sku":"9781487527709","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78bf59aa-c183-4506-a199-f7a5813b22a0.jpg?v=1685449420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dominion-and-agency-eli-maclaren-9781487527709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
