/lit/ - Literature

So, let me get this straight, someone proposed that the canonical interpretation (in so far as we can approximate it) is one whereby the author as a person is to be excised from the equation.

And people argue over this simply because the author and the work are interdependent on one another for full comprehension, obviously, but so too is the personal interpretation interdependant on the strength of the argument being made for itself, obviously, with the highest form of interpretation being that which intersects both methodologies, also obvious.

Yet no one here has stated that.

Am I really the only non-retard here?

Hello? Is anyone else out there?

Wasn't this the methodological framework constructed by a bunch of uneducated housewives?

Don't force me to embarrass you.

anyone have any recommendations for this genre? ive read enough hemmingway and fitzgerald but i am wondering if there are any other authors or poets you all could recommend. the only requirement for the author is that he served.
