An Analysis of Roland Barthes's The Death of the Author
Author: Laura Seymour
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 0429818866
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Roland Barthes’s 1967 essay, "The Death of the Author," argues against the traditional practice of incorporating the intentions and biographical context of an author into textual interpretation because of the resultant limitations imposed on a text. Hailing "the birth of the reader," Barthes posits a new abstract notion of the reader as the conceptual space containing all the text’s possible meanings. The essay has become one of the most cited works in literary criticism and is a key text for any reader approaching reader response theory.

Return from Death
Author: Margot Grey
Publisher: Sterling/Main Street
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
"For those who have been close to death, even survived 'clinical death', a remarkable experience occurs which has become known as the Near-Death Experience. Margot Grey describes how people close to death undergo a sense of euphoria and floating out of one's body, entering a dark tunnel and emerging to encounter a brilliant light and experiencing a panoramic life review. The Near-Death Experience often has a profound effect on the person who experiences it and can lead to spiritual awakening and psychic development. The fear of death tends to diminish and in many cases a total personality transformation occurs."--back cover.

Return of the Black Death
Author: Susan Scott
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470338997
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
If the twenty-first century seems an unlikely stage for the return of a 14th-century killer, the authors of Return of the Black Death argue that the plague, which vanquished half of Europe, has only lain dormant, waiting to emerge again—perhaps, in another form. At the heart of their chilling scenario is their contention that the plague was spread by direct human contact (not from rat fleas) and was, in fact, a virus perhaps similar to AIDS and Ebola. Noting the periodic occurrence of plagues throughout history, the authors predict its inevitable re-emergence sometime in the future, transformed by mass mobility and bioterrorism into an even more devastating killer.
