At the end of the twentieth century literary theorists find
themselves reflecting on their discipline. Since at least 1969, the
humanities and social sciences have seen the rise of Marxist
critical theory, Foucault (or discourse and the new historicism),
various schools of American and European cultural studies,
deconstruction, and poststructuralism. One of the major coups of
the last 30 years, from which all of the previously mentioned
theoretical camps benefited, was the attack on and subsequent death
of authorial intentionality. In, The Author's Intention co-authors
DiTommaso, Mitscherling, and Nayed divert the current philosophical
misrepresentation of authorial intention. Implicitly challenging a
second-generation theoretical approach to literature that dismisses
the possibility of truth, coherent narratives, and, of course,
intentionality the authors breathe new life back into "the author"
and, also, literary theory. This book is essential reading for
anyone in the humanities who has an interest in critical thought,
hermeneutics, and all forms of interpretive technique.
