The taboo was enforced by a seminal article, \u0026amp;quote;The Intentional Fallacy,\u0026amp;quote; and it deepened during the era of poststructuralist theory. Even now, when the vocabulary of \u0026amp;quote;critique\u0026amp;quote; that has dominated the literary field is under sweeping revision, the matter of authorial intention has yet to be reconsidered. This work explains how \u0026amp;quote;The Intentional Fallacy\u0026amp;quote; confused different kinds of authorial intentions and how literary critics can benefit from a more up-to-date understanding of intentionality in language. The result is a challenging inventory of the resources of literary theory, including implied readers, poetic speakers, omniscient narrators, interpretive communities, linguistic indeterminacy, unconscious meaning, literary value, and the nature of literature itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52935576879383,"sku":null,"price":3373.08,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783319489773.jpg?v=1781617797","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/varieties-of-authorial-intention-9783319489773","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
