Reader-Response Criticism: Audience as Context
Essay Questions
1
Wolfgang Iser's brand of reader-response criticism derives, in part, from the work of Wayne Booth and other neo-Aristotelian critics (Booth is associated with the complementary notion of the "implied author"). In what sense does reader-response criticism carry on the project of classical rhetoric, and how does it diverge from that project in its methods, aims, and assumptions?
2
Can the various methods of reader-response criticism fulfill what T.S. Eliot (who famously disagreed with I.A. Richards) considered to be the primary, normative task of the literary critic - "the elucidation of
works of art
and the
correction
of taste"? [italics added]
