G. Thomas Tanselle argues, on the contrary, that the two activities cannot be separated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe textual critic, in choosing among textual variants and correcting what appear to be textual errors, inevitably exercises critical judgment and reflects a particular point of view toward the nature of literature.
