The author function is a concept related to deconstruction deconstructionist literary theory . It was developed by Michel Foucault in his 1969 essay What is the Author? Theory Foucault posits that the legal system was central in the rise of the author , as an author was needed in order to be punished for making Transgressive art transgressive statements. This is made evident through the rise of the printing press during the time of the Protestant Reformation Reformation , when religious texts that circulated challenged the authority of the Catholic Church .
