In the UK, and many other countries, copyright, for works published in the authors lifetime expires on 1st January 70 years after their death. This means that the works of authors who dies in 1941 become copyright-free.

The only author I know who died in this year is James Joyce, and hence Dubliners, Ullysses etc. become public domain, but are there any others?
