A Place for a List of Authors that Died in 1958

I decided to start a thread for listing authors that died in 1958. That means they will go Public Domain On Jan 1 2009 (Next week). Feel free to add to the list....

1. James Branch Cabell

2. Henry Kuttner (one week left Dr. Drib!)

For whom? Certainly not for you or me, or anyone else in Europe, the United States, Australia, and pretty much anyplace else except Canada. Nice if you're Canadian, but of very little practical relevence for the rest of us.

Might I suggest that a list of authors who died in 1938 might be of more widespread interest? They will be the ones who will enter the public domain for the majority of us next week (but not, alas, in the US).

Karel Čapek died in 1938, so he is already in the PD in life + 50 countries (canada) and will enter the pd in life + 70 countries on 1st january.

given that MobileRead's servers are hosted in Canada, I would argue that in fact authors entering the public domain in life + 50 countries are of great practical relevance here.

but there's no reason not to include authors who died in 1938 in this list as well.

My apologies Harry. Since the server is in Canada, I meant in PD in Canada...

There is a blog on Canadian copyright I follow. Back in January 2008 it had a list like this. It will probably have another list in a couple weeks. Unfortunately, the blog is down at the moment.

Several of her pre-1921 novels are already available here.
