Literary value: For authors, death may mean that they can no longer write and publish their works, but their works will remain and be read and evaluated by future generations. The death of the authors may make their works more precious and valuable, because these works have become historical witnesses and cultural heritage.
Reader experience: For readers, the death of the author may make their works more memorable and emotional. Readers may cherish these works more, because they are the last legacy left by the author to the world. At the same time, readers may understand and appreciate the connotation and value of the work more deeply because of the author's death.
Literary evaluation: the death of the author may have an impact on literary evaluation. During the author's lifetime, their works may be evaluated and criticized differently for various reasons. However, after the author's death, these works may be evaluated more objectively and fairly because of their historical and cultural values.
Cultural inheritance: the death of the author may have an impact on cultural inheritance. The death of the authors may make their works become part of the cultural heritage, and these works may have an impact and enlightenment on the cultural inheritance of future generations.
In short, the author's death may have an impact on literature, readers, literary evaluation and cultural inheritance. Although the authors have passed away, their works will exist forever and continue to influence future generations.
The author's death and the author's abuse
There are two main reasons why the author's research is marginalized.
The first reason is the influence of the author's death. Barthes cut off the connection between the author and the text by the death of the author, advocated the freedom of interpretation and the openness of reading, and called for the fuzziness of the text. On the one hand, it is necessary to trace the author's history, explain the author's occurrence, development and evolution, and reconstruct the new relationship between the author and the text, writing and readers.
On the other hand, we should realize that the understanding of the relationship between the author and the work is not only the death and life of the author, but how people understand the relationship between themselves and what they have created.
The second reason is the misuse of the author's research, which confuses the boundary between the author and the work research. For a long time, it is a common phenomenon to equate author research with work research. The difference between author research and works research is that author research is the study of people, and the focus is on the study of authors. The study of works is the study of works and the analysis of texts.
