520 |a In an age of authorless, contextless, deconstructed texts, Francis-Noël Thomas argues that it is time to re-examine a fundamental but neglected concept of literature: writing is an action whose agent is an individual.

He examines what happens when we take these claims seriously enough to find out why the authors.
