I am a student of Comparative Literature and Cultures, so my topic may be suitable for writers who study literature or culture. “Discuss the declaration of ‘the death of the author’ in literature and literary theory as a gesture of liberation” is the question that should be discussed in the essay. Some materials that I used in the class have been upload, hope these may useful. You should use some examples or cases to explain the topic .And may also focus on “To what extent do notions of ‘the death of the author’ in the late 1960s and early 1970s change according to particular cultural and political contexts”. To be honest , I have no idea about how to write this essay, and this is why I choose you to help.As for citation style , my school prescribes the use of the MHRA or Harvard referencing systems, the more common of which, in modern literary studies, is the MHRA.
