Death of The Author
 

This is a theory... and I am very confused on it.

I need to produce a presentation on the theory, and it's due tomorrow.

Can anyone on here shed any light on it?

Cheers :)

anyone??

Wouldn't think a Big Brother forum is the best place for advice on literary theory

Never read it but from the wiki article it looks like it just advises against seeing too much of the author in their work, and that a distinction should be made between them and their writings

Yeah, I thought the same really, was a bit reluctant to post it on here, but everyone seems to have an opinion here... so thought why not :D haha

Thanks for your answer though :) I was thinking of something along the same lines
