Critical Authority
In his The Death of the Author, Roland Barthes argues that
critics up until his time have been not the sages, but the ruiners
of Literature. His essay could have been easily called The
Death of the Critic, or even The Rape of the Text. He describes
Critics as a destructive force to texts, and that their inclusion of
information beyond (or rather, beneath) the texts to which these
critics cast their own pens is destructive to the very texts they
examine.
