Etat : New.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What does it mean to read literature-and why does literary reading still matter in the twenty-first century?At a time when sustained reading is increasingly under pressure, Reading: Theory and Practice offers a timely and compelling defence of reading as an imaginative, cognitive, personal, and profoundly dialogic act.Bringing together insights from humanistic education, literary criticism, language learning, and reader-response theory, Christina Wolf explores how readers encounter texts, construct meaning, and enter into dialogue with authors, cultures, other readers, and their own experiences. Combining intellectual depth with an accessible and practical approach, the book examines the development of literary reading, the distinctive qualities of literary language, and the value of both collective and individual reading practices.At its heart is a clear, four-stage method that guides readers from their first encounter with a literary work through the exploration of language, the analysis of literary devices, and engagement with critical scholarship. Practical activities involving annotation, close reading, concordances, reading logs, and artificial intelligence demonstrate how literary understanding can be developed deliberately and confidently.Written for lecturers, students of literature, language teachers, and thoughtful general readers, Reading: Theory and Practice is both an exploration of how reading works and an invitation to rediscover its possibilities.Reading is not passive reception. It is an encounter-and every encounter has the power to change the reader. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
