Glossary Narrative Terms in Fiction and Film / Term

Author

The writer of a narrative. The term has been deconstructed in a number of ways in contemporary literary theory (Barthes, Foucault). One common distinction is Booth's, who posits the real or historical author (the historical person who actually wrote the fiction) from the implied author (the creator presupposed by the narrative itself).
