Congreso Literario Internacional (ALAI) en Madrid. Libro de Clunet dedicado a Danvila

Abstract:
ALAI established a bureaucratic apparatus and served as both an agency and a springboard for those who began to insist that the international perspective was a crucial component of copyright. An institutional space in which those interested – lawyers, politicians, writers – could get to know one other, exchange experiences, ideas (and also books), was developed in a number of ways. Perhaps the most interesting of these was the organisation of a series of international artistic and literary congresses which became an annual point of exchange between jurists, publicists, and journalists from all over the world. The 1887 Congress took place in Madrid and this artefact – a book dedication – is a historical trace of the exchange between two well-known jurists: the Spanish Danvila y Collado and the French Clunet.
