Opis

Reception introduces students and academics alike to the study of the way in which texts are received by readers, viewers, or audiences. Organised conceptually and thematically this book provides a much-needed overview of the field, suggests new ways of understanding and configuring the relationships between the various terminologies and theories which comprise reception study, and suggests potential ways forward for study and research in the light of such new configurations. Written in a clear and accessible style with a glossary of key terms and further reading included, this is the ideal introduction to the study of Reception.
