What does reading mean in the twenty-first century? As other
disciplines challenge literary criticism's authority to answer this
question, English professors are defining new alternatives to close
reading and to interpretation more generally. Further Reading
brings together thirty essays drawing on approaches as different as
formalism, historicism, neuroscience, disability, and computation.
Contributors take up the following questions: What do we mean when
we talk about 'reading' today? How are reading techniques evolving
in the digital era? What is the future of reading? This book
foregrounds reading as a topic worthy of investigation in its own
right rather than as a sub-section of histories of the book,
sociologies of literacy, or theories of literature. As our
knowledge of reading changes in step with the media and the
scholarly tools used to apprehend it, a more precise understanding
of this topic is crucial to the discipline's future. This
collection introduces new ways of conceptualizing the term's forms,
boundaries, and uses. Its contributors bring varied vocabularies to
bear on the contested nature and continued importance of reading,
within the academy and beyond.
