Books by Lewis Hyde

Lewis Hyde is an American poet, translator, and cultural critic. He taught for many years at Kenyon College and has held fellowships at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, where he focused on the cultural commons. His other books include Trickster Makes This World, a study of the trickster figure in mythology and art, and Common as Air, on the cultural commons and intellectual property. The Gift, first published in 1983, has become a widely circulated touchstone for working artists and thinkers grappling with the relationship between creative work and money.
