Much literary criticism focuses on literary producers and their
products, but an important part of such work considers the
end-user, the reader. It asks such questions as: how far can the
author condition the response of the reader, and how much does the
reader create the meaning of a text? Dr Bennett's collection
includes important essays from such writers and critics as Wolfgang
Iser, Mary Jacobus, Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau, Shoshana
Felman, Maurice Blanchot, Paul de Man and Yves Bonnefoy. It looks
in turn at deconstructionist, feminist, new historicist and
psychoanalytical response to the school. The book then considers
the act of reading itself, discussing such issues as the uniqueness
of any reading and the difficulties involved in its analysis.
