N2  - Reader response has tended to be presented as one
among a range of different literary theories ? and often as part of
the theoretical turn in the 1960s and 1970s. What is meant by
reader response theory, however, is so hugely variable as to call into
question its usefulness as a category, while its roots can be traced
back to the origins of literary study as a modern discipline. And yet
there is a sense in which reader response presents the most
fundamental challenge to common-sense assumptions about the
reading process, in that it directs our attention not to the text as the
repository of (more or less stable) meaning but rather to the activity
and agency of readers. Because of this, reader response has had,
from the start, a pedagogic orientation: transcending the merely
literary, it offers teachers the possibility of a theoretically-informed
praxis and raises vital questions about the assessment of reading.
