Seán Burke (literary theorist)

Seán Burke is an Irish literary theorist and novelist. He was a Reader in English at Durham University. The emphasis of his work in literary theory is opposition to postmodern decentering of the author. His response to Barthes' "Death of the Author" is titled Death and Return of the Author. He instead asserts authorial intent, even considering the issue of whether authors are personally responsible for unintended readings of their texts.
