From the link / "England, Their England A.G.MacDonnell's classic Novel England, Their England is a novel written in the 1930s. This novel has a chapter on Cricket, that is considered to be one of the best fiction writings on the game, and the funniest account of a cricket match. It is an excellent piece of humor. This is a must read for cricket lovers everywhere. I had read this novel long ago, and managed to get a copy of this book recently. I typed out the chapter on cricket, so that everyone can enjoy this book. Go right in, and laugh all you can! - Balaji Srinivasan." / |

While I enjoy the links that you take the trouble to post, omitting those that violate copyright would be good. Regards, Jayen |

It seems unlikely. A few years ago, the international law on copyright was changed so that, instead of copyright lasting for 50 years from the date of publication, it now lasts for 70 years from the author's death. But maybe the change wasn't retrospective, and stuff that had gone out of copyright didn't go back in? Also I think "England, Their England was actually written in the 1920s rather than 1930s, which improves the chances of its being out of copyright. |

The description of the cricket match is a highlight, but the rest of the book is also well worth reading. If you don't want to buy it new but live near a good second-hand book shop there is a good chance you can pick up a cheap copy. John Charnock |

I thought after publication was only on work for hire? The big extension that I'd heard of was on work for hire... [..] |

The big >extension that I'd heard of was on work for hire... I'm far from being a copyright expert - indeed I should have included the mantra "I am not a lawyer" in my last post. By "work for hire", I take it you mean where the publisher rather than the author owns the copyright? I don't know how that affects things. |
