Description

Explore the evolving concept of authorship with The Birth and Death of the Author, published by Routledge. This academic work examines how the idea of the author has changed over time through a series of specialist interventions. A diverse group of international scholars provides a detailed history of print authorship using specific case studies spanning from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. The book begins with an introduction that surveys the prehistory of print authorship. This section establishes the historical and theoretical framework necessary to understand the subsequent discussions. By focusing on the history of the materials and technology used in authorship, this volume offers a unique perspective on how the medium of print shapes the identity of the writer. This text is an essential resource for those studying literary theory, history, and the evolution of print culture.
