nayrt

eehhh, that's not really a great analogy. more like if you buy a sofa and then declare it to be a piano stool because you decided you wanted a piano stool more than you wanted a sofa and it can technically serve as a piano stool if you put it by a piano and the piano is the right height for the sofa to fit under the keyboard. You CAN use the sofa as a piano stool, but that doesn't mean it "is" a piano stool.

This thread really isn't how Death of the Author works. The work is the work. The text is the text. The person reading the text is not obligated to go on a wild goose chase for historical or biographical ephemera which may or may not exist or be reliable for the author in question in order to divine what the author "really" meant. Presumably the author said what they meant through a painstaking process of developing the work.

Particularly when you're talking about authors whose biographies have been embellished to the point of historical fiction.
