 | | Stanley Fish, author of a highly influential article entitled "Literature in the Reader: Affective Stylistics" (1970), argues that any school of criticism that would see a work of literature as an object, that would claim to describe what it is and never what it does, is guilty of misconstructing what literature and reading really are. | | | Rhetorical presentation presents literature that reflects and reinforces opinions that readers already hold are, and dialectical presentation describes literature that prods and provokes. | | | A dialectical text, rather than presenting an opinion as if it were truth, challenges readers to discover truths of their own. |

| | In other words, the reader who would argue that Moby-Dick is first and foremost a work of sexual symbolism would have to contend with the legacy of evidence (assembled by critics, biographers, and historians) that suggests that Melville’s motives had more to do with religious allegory and with philosophical considerations of good and evil. | | | For literature to happen, the reader is quite as vital as the writer of the text. | | | The work, in other words, is not fully crated until readers make a transaction with it by assimilating and actualizing it in the light of their own knowledge and experience. |

| | Understanding of poetic meaning is founded on a reader’s experiences with the words and language of the poetry. | | | Plato’s first concern with poetry is that its hearers cannot know the "true nature of the originals" which are distanced from the ideal already by poetic imitation (Richter 21). | | | Because he will admit "hymns to the gods and praises of famous men" in poetic form into the State, Plato acknowledges responses to poetry determine his judgements of their value (Richter 28). |

| | The works of reader-response criticism that biblical scholars have produced surely must appear strange to secular literary critics because of the predominance of historical concerns. | | | Their eyes are focused to miss what is happening in front of the text -- their own encounter with the text in the act of reading. | | | Biblical reader-response criticism, then, is almost an oxymoron because biblical scholars are still in what Tompkins refers to as the beginning stage in the theoretical development of reader-response criticism: a fixation upon the text as an object. |

| | The reader can only approach the text with her own foreunderstanding, which is grounded in history. | | | The 'reality' of the text lies between the reader and the text: it is the result of the dialectic between work and reader. | | | The text means differently because the reader decodes it according to her world-view, her horizons, yet with the understanding that the text may be operating within a different horizon, hence there is an interaction between the world of the text as it was constructed and the world of the reader. |

The twentieth-century thinkers and critics considered will include Heidegger, Sartre, Gadamer, Ricoeur, Habermas, Eco, Sontag, Rosenblatt, Iser, Culler, Fish, Fetterley, and Mulvey. | | | We will examine the theory and practice of reader response criticism from its historical roots in hermeneutic philosophy to contemporary concerns with gendered reading and interpretive communities. | | | The methods proposed by the discussed theorists will be applied to short literary texts to be selected at the first meeting of the class so as to reflect the previous training and current interests of the enrolled students. |

| | I know of no way to tell sense from nonsense." | | | Considered a leading scholar of Milton, he is best known for his work on interpretive communities, an offshoot of reader-response criticism that studies how the interpretation of a text by a reader depends on the reader's membership in one or more communities defined by acceptance of a common set of foundational assumptions or texts. | | | This work can be viewed as an explanation of how meaning is possible in the context of a particular interpretive community, even if one accepts the deconstructionist position that no single privileged reading of any text exists. |

| | Reader-response criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Reader-response criticism is a group of approaches to understanding literature that have in common an emphasis on the reader's role in the creation of the meaning of a literary work. | | | That is, Reader-response criticism argues that literature should be viewed as a performing art in which each reader creates his or her own, possibly unique, text-driven performance. | | | New Criticism had emphasized that only that which is within a text is part of the meaning of a text. |

| | Reader Response |
| | Reader-Response Criticism is really a collective term used to describe a number of critical theories that have emerged since the 1960's, all of which focus on the response of the reader to the text rather than the text itself as the source of meaning in a literary work. | | | Regardless of their particular perspectives, all reader-response critics agree that since, in varying degrees, the individual reader creates the meanings of a text, there is no one correct meaning for a text. | | | In Reader-Response criticism a text is viewed as a process that goes on in the mind of the reader rather than as a stable entity with a single "correct meaning". |
