Synopsis :

In Interpretive Conventions, Steven Mailloux provides a general introduction to reader-response criticism while developing his own specific reader-oriented approach to literature. He examines five influential theories of the reading process--those of Stanley Fish, Jonathan Culler, Wolfgang Iser, Norman Holland, and David Bleich. He goes on to argue the need for a more comprehensive reader-response criticism based on a consistent social model of reading. He develops such a reading model and also discusses American textual editing and literary history.

À propos de l?auteur: Steven Mailloux is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of Rhetorical Power, Interpretive Conventions: The Reader in the Study of American Fiction, and Reception Histories: Rhetoric, Pragmatism, and American Cultural Politics, from Cornell University Press.
