The paper analyzes the scientific theoretical provisions related to the author's concept in the context of artistic craftsmanship of different times. The article mainly focuses on how the author's death metaphor is defined in the theory of threat. It is noted hereby that the aesthetics of romance sought to integrate the individual process of the creative process in the nineteenth century. However, in classical realism, which occurred almost at the same time, objective reality become the main factor defining the ideas and content of the literary-artistic model, the principles of structure, in which subjective beginnings dominate. Certainly, this does not mean that the creative individual disappears completely. It does not disappear, it is pressed and destroyed by individual style. This trend manifests itself in one way or another in all aspects of modernity, and in fact, it disappears in the "new novel", which is the "last resort" of modernism. Therefore, the history of the literary process, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries can be characterized as the gradual "suicide" of the author. The problem of author's death in postmodernism gave birth to the aphorism of Shakespeare on the new life and death: is an author really “dead" or continue to live a different life in the text?

Keywords : Author’s death; metaphor; aesthetics.
