Poetic Authority

Poetic Authority is a theoretical construct in the study of didactic poetry that denotes the epistemological and rhetorical legitimacy claimed by a poem or poet to instruct, shape, or influence the reader’s understanding, distinguishing it from mere didactic function by grounding its teaching efficacy in recognized literary, moral, or institutional credibility.
