Abstract:This dually authored first-person essay offers a narrative account of the far-ranging writing experiences of two well-established academics who, like many others working in higher education, contribute writing to mainstream publications as well as to scholarly ones. The essay considers the implications for professional and personal reputations when material targeted at one kind of audience is easily accessible by another through internet 'context collapse.' It argues for an inextricable connection between authorial ethics and the essential rigour of all good writing, and it encourages scholar-writers to invest their energies in non-scholarly writing for its value to society.

当文学学者为普通读者写作时：两人第一人称的文章

摘要：这篇双重作者的第一人称论文叙述了两位知名学者的广泛写作经历，他们与许多其他从事高等教育的人一样，为主流出版物和学术出版物做出了贡献。这篇文章考虑了当针对一种受众的材料很容易通过互联网“上下文崩溃”被另一种受众访问时对专业和个人声誉的影响。它主张作者伦理与所有优秀作品的基本严谨性之间存在着密不可分的联系，并鼓励学者作家将精力投入到非学术写作中，以获得对社会的价值。
