| Description | The author of the present contribution deals with the development of the personalistic inspiration in comparative literary studies as a bridge connecting the traditional auctorial approaches and those of textual and receptionist perspectives. He found the inspiration in the psychological methods created by A. Potebnya and his predecessors and successors in Russian 19th-century literary criticism as well as in psychopoetics. The writer is a real creator of a literary artefact - a crucial node and crossroads of all the factors in literary creation and reception. The restoration and revitalization of a new concept of the author has to be understood as the end of the hyperbolized, exaggerated and overestimated reader. As the reader becomes the author, and the author is allowed to enter his work and work only as a reader, the author may function as a complex reader who transforms their experience into an active literary creation by converting and transforming their own psychic and existential situation into a literary artefact. The author in all these aspects cannot be ignored or suppressed neither by the text itself nor by wider concepts that integrate literature into culture and thus free literature from its specific characteristics. To search for the balance of both poles of literary creation and communication was the real intention of these remarks. |
