Roland Barthes's 1967 essay, "The Death of the Author," argues
against the traditional practice of incorporating the intentions
and biographical context of an author into textual interpretation
because of the resultant limitations imposed on a text. Hailing
"the birth of the reader," Barthes posits a new abstract notion of
the reader as the conceptual space containing all the text's
possible meanings. The essay has become one of the most cited works
in literary criticism and is a key text for any reader approaching
reader response theory.
