[Milton-L] PS reply to Kim Maxwell

[Alice Crawford Berghof]

Regarding authorial intention and de Man, I find this useful.  Would  
love to hear what others have to say.
Alice

"Rather than dismissing authorial intent, de Man insists on  
incorporating hermeneutics, or the search for referential significance,  
into formal analysis, despite the interference that the formal surface  
of the text presents to hermeneutic epistemological understanding."
