Despite being a standard element of formalist poetics, the notion of the implied author actually resists easy conceptualisation. This paper analyses classical Western theorisations of the implied author and relates them to relevant Polish literary-theoretical studies in order to assess the utility of the concept. It demonstrates that the implied author can be construed as an anthropomorphic entity (re-)constructed by the reader on the basis of textual signals. Thus understood, the notion of the implied author throws into sharp relief a lack of straightforward correlation between the real author and the idea of author derived from the text, and therefore proves to be a useful literary-theoretical tool.

Mimo że pojęcie autora implikowanego jest standardowym elementem poetyki formalistycznej, nie poddaje się ono łatwej konceptualizacji. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje klasyczne, zachodnie omówienia tego pojęcia i odnosi je do zbliżonych polskich studiów historycznoliterackich w celu określenia jego przydatności. Analiza wykazuje, że autor implikowany może być konceptualizowany jako antropomorficzny byt, (re)konstruowany przez czytelnika na podstawie sygnałów tekstowych. Takie rozumienie pojęcia autora implikowanego pozwala na podkreślenie braku prostej korelacji między rzeczywistym autorem a figurą autora wywiedzioną z tekstu i tym samym odsłania jego użyteczność jako narzędzia teoretycznoliterackiego.
