I would like to relate a funereal poem/sermon topic, "Death is Nothing" by Henry Scott Holland, in its entirety in my novel-in-progress, Folded Dreams (with appropriate back-matter citation , of course).

I can't seem to find copyright rules (US) re: citing full text with regards to a work from 1910. I seem to recall a 75 year, post-death limitation on non-updated copyrights (or was that for patents?).

So, does anyone know about the legalities of reproducing full texts from 1910, or where I might find swift answers? I'm rather stuck in two places regarding copyright laws on specific subjects.

Thanks...Pearl

Here's the Copyright duration info. http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq...

You'll have to do some research to see if its copyright has been renewed, since it was from 1910. http://www.copyright.gov/records/
