A reader may be in" a text as a character is in a novel, but
also as one is in a train of thought--both possessing and being
possessed by it. This paradox suggests the ambiguities inherent in
the concept of audience. In these original essays, a group of
international scholars raises fundamental questions about the
status--be it rhetorical, semiotic and structuralist,
phenomenological, subjective and psychoanalytic, sociological and
historical, or hermeneutic--of the audience in relation to a
literary or artistic text.
Originally published in 1980.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these
important books while presenting them in durable paperback
editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly
increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the
thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since
its founding in 1905.
