Description: Intention and Text : Towards an Intentionality of Literary Form, Hardcover by Mitchell, Kaye, ISBN 1847060528, ISBN-13 9781847060525, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US How far can an author's intentions determine the meanings of his/ her text? To what extent can a text itself be said to be 'intentional'? What role does the reader's intention have in the construction of textual meaning? In this analysis of the concept of intention, its uses within the realms of literary theory, aesthetics, and deconstruction, and its potential for redefinition, Mitchell (contemporary literature, U. of Manchester, UK) counters the exclusion of 'intention' from the literary text and critical studies in recent years. She proceeds from a critique of the pitfalls of traditional authorial intentionalism toward a conception of 'intentionality of form', where intention is viewed as a formal attribute of the text itself.
