Summary/Abstract: This paper continues to explore the manner in which history inscribes the idea of the author (see also our “De auctore (1)”, in Ovidius University Annals of Philology, vol. XVII, 2006, pp. 173-197) by critically reading a number of theoretical formulations of authorship from Romanticism to Postmodernism. Our aim has been to appropriate its system of rules, to identify the main defining elements and to put present assumptions about the author in their true perspective.
