Romans, sprookjes, sciencefiction en griezelverhalen hebben allemaal één ding gemeen voor hun lezers, je wordt meegenomen naar een andere wereld. Je maakt kennis met allerlei fictieve personages die van alles beleven, ze slepen je mee in hun avonturen of belevingswereld. Maar hoe werkt zo'n identificatie precies voor meisjes? Volgens een gangbare leestheorie vereenzelvigen wij ons meestal met het hoofdpersonage van een boek. Als je meisjes wil emanciperen, laat ze dan een boek lezen met sterke, competente meisjes/vrouwen als hoofdpersonage zou je hieruit kunnen concluderen. In dit boek wordt deze stelling nader bekeken. De auteur ondervroeg meisjes van 8-16 jaar naar hun leesgedrag. Meisjes identificeren zich met verschillende personages en niet enkel met de vrouwelijke. Het leesplezier is juist de ervaring om het verhaal vanuit verschillende invalshoeken te lezen. Meisjes lezen in de eerste plaats een goed verteld verhaal. Verhalen die weinig of niets met hun eigen leven te maken hebben genieten de voorkeur.

Nearly all of us have studied poetry and been taught to look for the symbolic as well as literal meaning of the text. Is this the way the ancients saw poetry? In Birth of the Symbol, Peter Struck explores the ancient Greek literary critics and theorists who invented the idea of the poetic "symbol." The book notes that Aristotle and his followers did not discuss the use of poetic symbolism. Rather, a different group of Greek thinkers--the allegorists--were the first to develop the notion. Struck extensively revisits the work of the great allegorists, which has been underappreciated. He links their interest in symbolism to the importance of divination and magic in ancient times, and he demonstrates how important symbolism became when they thought about religion and philosophy. "They see the whole of great poetic language as deeply figurative," he writes, "with the potential always, even in the most mundane details, to be freighted with hidden messages." Birth of the Symbol offers a new understanding of the role of poetry in the life of ideas in ancient Greece. Moreover, it demonstrates a connection between the way we understand poetry and the way it was understood by important thinkers in ancient times.
