The Death Of The Author by Roland Barthes
This seminal essay challenges the traditional notion of authorship, arguing that the interpretation of a text should not be limited by the author's intentions or biography. It posits that the meaning of a work is created through the interaction between the reader and the text, rather than being dictated by the author's personal context. By advocating for the "death" of the author, it emphasizes the importance of reader interpretation and the multiplicity of meanings that can arise from a single text, thus liberating literature from the constraints of authorial influence.
