Some biographers and historians are finding themselves at odds with literary estates which seek to control not only the copyright of long-dead authors, but also their reputations. All writers are protected by intellectual property laws, but are some powerful estates taking their role too seriously? Is the free speech of living authors now in opposition to the copyright of dead authors? How can we resolve this tension? Biographers
Anne Sebba and
Andrew Lycett are joined by media lawyer
Nicola Solomon and leading literary agent
Bruce Hunter to debate the fascinating issues involved here, in a discussion chaired by
Mark Le Fanu, General Secretary of the Society of Authors.
Tickets include a complimentary glass of wine after the talk, courtesy of Waitrose Wine
How to book: Call 020 7713 0023 or book on-line.
