Thread Name: Strindberg's Married (was Re: Who was Thomas Seltzer) From: GORDON NEAVILL <aa3401@removed> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 20:18:17 -0500 The ML edition of Married was reprinted from Married: Twenty Stories of Married Life, published in the U.S. by John W. Luce & Co. in 1913. The Luce edition was not printed in the U.S. but used sheets of the English edition published by Frank Palmer. Under the U.S. copyright law of 1891, books that weren't manufactured in the U.S. were in the public domain; since Luce used British sheets the work did not qualify for U.S. copyright and the ML was free to reprint it without permission or payment of royalties. The ML omitted one item from the Luce edition: the one-act play "Creditors", which was something of an anomaly in a collection of stories. Married was typeset for the ML and printed from ML plates. The ML edition neglected to identify the translator, Ellie Schleussner. -------------------------------------
