"Louise M. Rosenblatt's award-winning work continues increasingly to be read in a wide range of academic fields--literary criticism, reading theory, aesthetics, composition, rhetoric, speech communication, and education. Her view of the reading transaction as a unique event involving reader and text at a particular time under particular circumstances rules out the dualistic emphasis of other theories on either the reader or the text as separate and static entities. The transactional concept accounts for the importance of factors such as gender, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic context. Essential reading for the specialist, this book is also well suited for courses in criticism, critical theory, rhetoric, and aesthetics." --

L’histoire de la lecture fait désormais partie des domaines privilégiés de la recherche en sciences humaines. Or un aspect majeur de cette histoire est resté jusqu’ à ce jour peu exploré : la tradition des cahiers « d’extraits » - autrement dit l’art de constituer une bibliothèque choisie à partir de notes de lecture recopiées. Depuis la Renaissance, ces recueils d’extraits font office d’anthologies personnelles dans lesquelles le lecteur stocke, selon des règles plus ou moins précises, les expressions et les idées des auteurs consultés, constituant par là un butin de citations directement utiles à ses propres productions. Substituts commodes de bibliothèques plus vastes, ces recueils de notes ont exercé une influence cruciale sur la littérature européenne moderne. Le XVIIIe siècle joue un rôle ambigu dans l’histoire de cette pratique. D’un côté, il soumet l’art de l’extrait à une critique acérée. D’un autre, il continue à se livrer avec application à cet exercice. C’est donc l’exploration d’un paradoxe qu’entend engager le présent ouvrage, en analysant la tradition culturelle qui sous-tend la pratique de l’extrait et en étudiant les bibliothèques manuscrites de quelques écrivains caractéristiques (Shaftesbury, Montesquieu, Winckelmann, Lichtenberg, Hamann, Herder, Jean Paul, Heinse, Louis Sébastien Mercier).

Comment la lecture d'un roman peut-elle intervenir dans nos émotions, nos systèmes de valeurs, nos relations privées ? Comment la critique littéraire nous y prédispose-telle ? Quelles images attendons-nous et rencontrons-nous dans le texte d'une fiction et en quoi contient-il un message ? Ce sont quelques-unes des questions qu'envisage cet ouvrage à partir de documents largement cités (correspondances privées, presse littéraire, textes polémiques, illustrations, etc.) et à propos d'un livre qui fit fureur à l'époque des Lumières : La Nouvelle Héloïse de J.J. Rousseau. L'enquête se place du point de vue de la communication et de la réception. Elle propose les éléments d'une théorie de la lecture.

Stephen Railton's study of the American Renaissance proposes a fresh way of conceiving the writer as a performing artist and the text as an enactment of the drama of its own performance. Railton focuses on how major prose works of the period are preoccupied with their readers--how they seek to negotiate the conflicted space between the authors, who brought to the act of publication their own anxieties of ambition and identity, and the contemporary American reading public, which, as a growing mass audience in a democracy, had acquired an unprecedented authority over the terms of literary performance. New readings of Emerson's orations, Poe's tales, the sketches of the Southwest Humorists, Walden, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby-Dick relocate American writers in the dramatic context in which they suffered and thrived. The book attends closely to historicist issues, arguing that one of the most profound ways that the culture shaped these texts was also the most immediate--as the audience each writer had to address. Equally concerned with biographical themes, it appreciates each of the major works within the larger pattern of the writer's public career and private needs.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
