52 The notion of the author of the literary text. Internal and external aspects of the author’s presence. Author’s image as a textual category.

The term author has got three meanings:

8) Real creator of the story

9) Author narrator- as a subject,presented in the literary text along side other characters:

10) Author’s image appears in the reader’s consciousness.

The author’s narrator exists in the same world as other personages, while the author’s image is above them.

The author’s image is the expression of the idea of the text that holds together the whole system of the characters speech structures in their relation to that of the narrator and that is the ideological and stylistic focus of the term was introduced by Vinogradov and correspond to the term the implied author in foreign linguistics.

Shlomiss Rimmon Canon:

“The implied author must be seen as a construct infered and assembled by the reader from all the components of the text. It is considered of a set of implicit norms rather than a speaker or voice.”

There are external and internal aspects of the category.

Internally the image of the author is revealed as a certain point of view, a position or a stand through which the writer’s attitude to the subject matter manifested.

There are two possible ways of evaluation of the events:

6) Through a point of view of one of the personages/characters(the character maybe one and the same or the point of view of the events can be transferred from one character to another.

7) The narrator can call himself the author, in this case the narration is carried out from the point of view of the author who is outside the story.

Externally the author’s image becomes comprehensible through the language used in the text.
