Michel Foucault's 1969 essay "What is an Author?" sidesteps the
stormy arguments surrounding "intentional fallacy" and the "death
of the author," offering an entirely different way of looking at
texts. Foucault points out that all texts are written but not all
are discussed as having "authors". So what is special about
"authored" texts? And what makes an "author" different to other
kinds of text-producers? From its deceptively simple titular
question, Foucault's essay offers a complex argument for viewing
authors and their texts as objects. A challenging,
thought-provoking piece, it is one of the most influential literary
essays of the twentieth century.
