I am beginning some research about protection of works under the original Copyright Act (U.S.). I am particularly interested in the distinction between published and unpublished works.

Can anyone point me to a good resource on the Act? In particular, is there a nineteenth century treatise that is considered authoritative? (Say, the copyright analog of Robinson on Patents?)
