问题     The relevance of the literary personality—a writer’s distinctive attitudes, concerns, and artistic choices—to the analysis of a literary work is being scrutinized by various schools of contemporary criticism. Deconstructionists view the literary personality, like the writer’s biographical personality, as irrelevant. The proper focus of literary analysis, they argue, is a work’s intertextuality (interrelationship with other texts), subtexts (unspoken, concealed, or repressed discourses), and metatexts (self-referential aspects), not a perception of a writer’s verbal and aesthetic “fingerprints.” New historicists also devalue the literary personality, since, in their emphasis on a work’s historical contexts, they credit a writer with only those insights and ideas that were generally available when the writer lived. However, to readers interested in literary detective work-say scholars of classical (Greek and Roman) literature who wish to reconstruct damaged texts or deduce a work’s authorship—the literary personality sometimes provide vital clues.
The passage is primarily concerned with
选项 A、discussing attitudes toward a particular focus for literary analysis.
B、describing the limitations of two contemporary approaches to literary analysis
C、pointing out the similarities among seemingly contrasting approaches to literary analysis
D、defending the resurgence of a particular focus for literary analysis
E、defining a set of related terms employed in literary criticism
答案A
解析 本文是典型的总分结构，主旨句是第一句，因此只要选择主旨句的同义改写即可。attitudes分别对应解构主义、新历史主义和修复古典作品的学者的观点，a particular focus for literary analysis对应文学性格。B项提到的两个方法属于细节，但是文章并没有提及方法的局限性。C项seemingly contrasting approaches对应解构主义和新历史主义的研究方法；similarities对应瞧不起文学性格，属于细节。D项resurgence文中未提及。E项a set of related terms对应原文的intertextuality、subtexts和metatexts，属于细节。
