4.9/5 (15525 ratings)

Description:"Text to Reader" seeks to find a critical approach that links a novel s form to its socio-cultural context. Combining elements from Iser s reception aesthetics, speech act theory, and Goffman s frame analysis, this book starts from the assumption that a reader has certain conventional expectations with regard to a novel, and then goes on to examine how violations of these expectations rule the reader s relationship to the novel. The theory sketched in the first chapter is then, in four subsequent chapters, applied to "The French Lieutenant s Woman "by the English author John Fowles, "Letters "by the American John Barth, "Libro de Manuel "by the Argentinean Julio Cortazar, and "De Kapellekensbaan "by the Flemish novelist Louis-Paul Boon. The particular form each of these novels takes is analyzed as correlative to that novel s communicative function. This book will be of interest to comparatists, students of English and American literature, and the literatures of Latin-America and the Low Countries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
