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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Smith-Laing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Macat Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Macat Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912453085","brand":"Macat Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710598287497,"sku":"9781912453085","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_39c39e9e-4e7f-46dd-b816-d80f55dbf2cd.jpg?v=1719539542","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/an-analysis-of-michel-foucaults-what-is-an-author-9781912453085","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
