>>What is 'author'.
An author is a human being who has spent time
crafting a narrative. Degrees of skill vary.
>>What is 'authorial intention'.
Authorial intention (in prose) is the designed
guiding of a reader's imagination through a
narrative. In service to the author's intention,
the narrative accumulates a symbolic, imaginative
verbal complex of verbal associations.
