Hey /lit/

What were the names of the contrasting schools of thought as far as interpreting novels, on whether the author's personal life should be taken into account and the text should be used as a way to understand the author's feeling/intention/motive, versus judging the work as standalone and independent of who wrote it

I was going to say auteurism but that's a film thing.

The term for it in literature seems to have escaped my mind

thanks guys

Never. This is why prefaces are useless and cancerous.

I tend to agree, but I'm just looking for the term for it. I'm retarded so I have forgotten it.
