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.

This book is about the interaction between literary studies and the philosophy of literature. It features essays from internationally renowned and emerging philosophers and literary scholars, challenging readers to join them in taking seriously the notion of interdisciplinary study and forging forward in new and exciting directions of thought.It identifies that literary studies and the philosophy of literature address similar issues: What is literature? What is its value? Why do I care about characters? What is the role of the author in understanding a literary work? What is fiction as opposed to non-fiction? Yet, genuine, interdisciplinary interaction remains scarce. This collection seeks to overcome current obstacles and seek out new paths for exploration.
