Despite various poststructuralist rejections of the idea of a singular author-genius, the question of a textual archetype that can be assigned to a named author is still a common scholarly phantasm. The present volume sets new standards by consistently applying current theoretical approaches from literary studies to the question of concepts of authorship in medieval and early modern literature. The basic thesis of the volume is that authorship is a narratological, inner- and intertextual function rather than an extra-textual entity.
