Using the 180-year history of Keats's Eve of St. Agnes as a basis
for theorizing about the reading process, Stillinger's book
explores the nature and whereabouts of `meaning' in complex works.
A proponent of authorial intent, Stillinger argues a theoretical
compromise between author and reader, applying a theory of
interpretive democracy tha includes the endlessly multifarious
reader's response as well as Keats's guessed-at intent. Stillinger
also ruminates on the process of constructing meaning, and posits
an answer to why Keats's work is considered canonical, and why it
is still being read and admired.
