abstract = "The culturally esteemed concept of the {\textquoteleft}Author{\textquoteright} is the product of the Anglophone world and emerged simultaneous with copyright and Romanticism from the early eighteenth century. Digital technologies present fundamental challenges to traditional conceptions and practices of authorship: digital texts are typically open to {\textquoteleft}readerly{\textquoteright} manipulation, and digital publishing has allowed more democratic forms of authorship such as self-publishing and crowd-funded publishing. Paradoxically, the digital domain has triggered further elevation of the celebrity author figure, with author-maintained social media accounts providing readers with daily, or even real-time, communion with favourite authors. Authorship thus stands at a fascinating point: at once sacralised more than ever yet, in theory at least, never more accessible to a mass public.",
