Rosenblatt, Louise M. 1904-2005,
The reader, the text, the poem : the transactional theory of the literary work / Louise M. Rosenblatt ; with a new preface and epilogue. - Paperback edition. - 1 online resource (xv, 210 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-202) and index.
The invisible reader -- The poem as event -- Efferent and aesthetic reading -- Evoking a poem -- The text: openness and constraint -- The quest for "the poem itself" -- Interpretation, evaluation, criticism.
This important new work brings a fresh and carefully elaborated theory of the literary work of art to the current rediscovery of the reader?that of the concept, based on the transactional point of view, of the two-way process involved in eliciting a literary work of art from a text. Dr. Rosenblatt draws on her long experience as a scholar and teacher of English and Comparative Literature. Amply illustrating her theoretical points, she provides contrasting interpretations of a number of varied texts, discusses other critical approaches, and makes reference to recent philosophical developments.
