Should be moved locally to ENws or deleted, the translator was still living in 1967. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:59, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Further digging has shown that this work might not in fact be a 1920 work as the IA metadata claimed.

Page 8 of the djvu gives a possible date of 1924, meaning that may be a US edition of a work previously published outside the US in 1922 (all the other versions at IA give a 1922 date, and a LONDON publication, The other versions are a DIRECT typographical match to the file in this deletion request.)

Based on this I am requesting deletion, unless someone is prepared to provide a version with a KNOWN date and status. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't actually appear to be a US edition, really. Looking at the pages at the very end, there is a colophon indicating it was printed in Vienna, and was No. 6 in the "International Psycho-Analytical Library". It has no US copyright notice because it was, apparently, ineligible for copyright in the US as failing to comply with the manufacturing clause, and that the New York 'publisher' was simply a distributor.

Thanks, so is it PD for commons or not? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 01:24, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's only copyrighted in the US, I think, if it actually was a 1924 work and the URAA applied to it (doubtful). I suspect that 1924 is when the University of Connecticut Library obtained their copy...other places (like the Library of Congress) date it a couple of years earlier. The translator (en:James Strachey) was British, and died in 1967 (as you pointed out), so this is presumably under an Austrian copyright of 70 years pma (which has a long, long time to run). This should be perfectly fine for the English Wikisource, but not here IMO. Reventtalk 01:50, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note, it's no 'earlier' than 1921, as that's when Freud published 'Psicologia delle masse e analisi dell'io'. Reventtalk 01:52, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
