The practice of reading: interpreting the novel

Trama

The Practice of Reading is a lucid and lively examination of the art of interpreting the novel in the context of recent developments in literary theory and criticism. What is the role of the reader? What happens when a novel is read? How far does meaning depend on the reader, and how far on the text?
