520 8  Building upon his previous work on the emergence of 
       "literature," Trevor Ross offers a history of how the 
       public function of literature changed as a result of 
       developing press freedoms during the period from 1760 to 
       1810. Writing in Public examines the laws of copyright, 
       defamation, and seditious libel to show what happened to 
       literary writing once certain forms of discourse came to 
       be perceived as public and entitled to freedom from state 
       or private control. 0Ross argues that-with liberty of 
       expression becoming entrenched as a national value-the 
       legal constraints on speech had to be reconceived, 
       becoming less a set of prohibitions on its content than an
       arrangement for managing the public sphere. The public was
       free to speak on any subject, but its speech, jurists 
       believed, had to follow certain ground rules, as 
       formalized in laws aimed at limiting private ownership of 
       culturally significant works, maintaining civility in 
       public discourse, and safeguarding public deliberation 
       from the coercions of propaganda. For speech to be truly 
       free, however, there had to be an enabling exception to 
       the rules. 0Since the late eighteenth century, Ross 
       suggests, the role of this exception has been performed by
       the idea of literature. Literature is valued as the form 
       of expression that, in allowing us to say anything and in 
       any form, attests to our liberty. Yet, paradoxically, it 
       is only by occupying no definable place within the public 
       sphere that literature can remain as indeterminate as the 
       public whose self-reinvention it serves.
