Reader: Reader Response Theory

Reader Response Theory explores the dynamic relationship between the reader and the text, asserting that meaning is not solely inherent in the work but is actively constructed by the reader’s subjective interpretation and personal experiences. In the following chapters, you will learn more about this type of criticism, practice with an AI-generated model essay, review a student essay, apply these skills to a text, and review a lecture presentation.
