The Act of Reading: A Theory of Aesthetic Response by Wolfgang Iser

The Act of Reading Reviews

A splendid theoretical companion to Iser's The Implied Reader. The earlier book drew much attention for its reader-centered practical criticism of narrative fiction from Bunyan on. The new volume explains Iser's phenomenological technique... This book belongs in every serious, up-to-date literature collection. Library Journal.
