Becoming a Reader argues that, whatever our individual differences
of personality and background, there is a regular sequence of
attitudes we go through as we mature, which affect how we
experience fiction, from the five-year-old child absorbed in the
world of fantasy play, through the seventeen year old critical
seeker of the truth, to the middle-aged reader recognizing their
own experiences in fictional characters. Becoming a Reader argues
that this sequence of responses can be worked out and described.
The evidence for these claims is drawn from numerous studies of
reading and from interviews with a great many readers, young and
old. The developmental perspective provides a useful framework for
assessing the implications of competing theories of reading and for
charting the evolution of individual readers. Finally, in allowing
us to predict our reading experience, the book allows us, as
adults, to choose what to do with the power which reading gives us.
