Popis: The ‘Death of the Author’ and subsequent ‘Birth of the Reader’ notes a turning point in post-structural literary criticism that is marked by a struggle for authorial sovereignty. This essay argues that the traditional models thus far offered are inadequate in explaining why one source is preferable to another. Through an ontological exploration of the relationships that exist in literature, this essay hopes to offer a more sound and complete explanation for the reasons surrounding this struggle and what potential solutions free us from the traditional stagnation that has occurred in literary theory.
