Beskrivning
This book traces the history of the idea of the author between the two key critical moments of Romantic expressivism and Modernist formalism. The former dominated anglophone criticism up to the 1830s, and placed authorial expression at the very centre of criticism; the latter became the standard after the First World War, and regarded the author as an undesirable distraction. The book shows that the shift was prepared in Victorian literary culture. Combining analyses of Victorian critical theories and practices with case studies centred on the critical reception of canonical writers such as A.C. Swinburne and Oscar Wilde, the book explores why and how ‘impersonality’ became the dominant aesthetic ideal in anglophone criticism.
