{"product_id":"literature-as-exploration","title":"Literature as Exploration","description":"Louise Rosenblatt's Literature as Exploration has influenced literary theorists and teachers of literature at all levels. This attractive trade paperback edition features a new foreword by Wayne Booth, a new preface and retrospective chapter by the author, and an updated list of suggested readings.\n\nIn Literature as Exploration, Rosenblatt presents her unique theory of literature and focuses on the immense, often untapped, potential for the study and teaching of literature in a democratic society. The author's philosophy of literature is frequently cited as the first presentation of reader-response theory, but she differs from her successors in emphasizing both the reader and the text. Her \"transactional\" theory of literature examines the reciprocal nature of the literary experience and explains why meaning is neither \"in\" the text nor \"in\" the reader. Each reading is \"a particular event involving a particular reader and a particular text under particular circumstances.\" And teachers of literature, Rosenblatt argues, play a pivotal role in influencing how students perform in response to a text.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 087352568X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.087352568X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rosenblatt, Louise M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
