Good question, Toni, one that we all need to ask more often than we
generally do.
In this case, I venture the answer to be that the Morrison book, copyright
1896, is now in the public domain, having passed the 75 year mark a couple
of decades ago. And, venturing further, I think Robert's plan falls within
fair use, even if the book were not in the public domain.
But then I am no lawyer (even if I do like playing one on the internet --
so much more comfortable than in the jailhouse.)
