| Sažetak: | The paper draws on Paul Ricœur’s theory of discourse to propose a hermeneutic definition of the author as a functional and semantic correlative of a work and examine The Complete Prose of T. S. Eliot as a case of a comprehensive editorial redesignation of Eliot’s own authorial self-positionings. The editors construct a single chronology for Eliot’s linguistic productions in various stages of composition and publication to present a coherent development of his public persona. The phonocentric focus of the construed line of development and material dimensions of the print medium chosen for the edition inform the reconstruction and lead to disregarding Eliot’s strategies of self-authoring by editing, or failing to completely edit, his writings into larger semantic configurations, or works. |
