Lahrsow, Miriam
The Author as Annotator

Ambiguities of Self-Annotation in Pope and Byron.

Focussing on Alexander Pope's 'Dunciad's and a wide selection of Lord Byron's poems, Lahrsow shows that literary self-annotations rarely just explain a text. Rather, they multiply meanings and pit different voices against each other. Self-annotations serve to ambiguate the author's self-presentation as well as the genre, tone, and overall interpretation of a text.
