author's perspective

Narrator's interpretive lens

Author's perspective refers to the viewpoint, attitudes, and beliefs that shape how a writer presents information or tells a story.

It encompasses the author's background, biases, purpose, and the particular lens through which they interpret events or ideas.

Recognizing an author's perspective is essential for critical reading, as it helps readers understand why certain details are emphasized, what assumptions underlie the text, and how the same subject might be treated differently by someone else.

The author's perspective on immigration was clearly influenced by her own family's experience.
