  How far can an author's intentions determine the meanings of his/her text? What do we mean by 'intention' in a literary context? This book analyses and critique's this concept of intention, its uses within the realms of literary theory, aesthetics, philosophy of language, phenomenology and deconstruction, and its potential for redefinition.
