Just as in ordinary linguistic communication where a speaker conveys a message to an addressee‚ so in literature an author sends a message to a reader. The component elements of this definition are‚ however‚ open to criticism. Mikhail Bakhtin‚ Roland Barthes and Julia Kristeva explore the position and role of the author in relation to the text.

Role of the Author: New Criticism and Poststructuralism This paper studies the role of the author from the perspectives of New Criticism and Poststructuralism. The nature of the two critical approaches must be elucidated before the discussion.

“Literature is the question minus the answer.” This was said by Critic Roland Barthes. The query is‚ what is the question?
