Reader-Response criticism started in 1960s and 70. Reader response critics believe that the interaction between the reader and the text gives the texts its meaning. o Interpretation The role of the reader cannot be ignored.

Founder of Reader-Response Louise Rosenblatt - Credited with formally introducing the idea that the reader’s experience and interaction with the text creates the true meaning. Stanley Fish - American literary theorist of the 20th century. - Suggested literature should not be interpreted as object. Louise Rosenblatt – Born: 23 August 1904 in Atlantic City, New Jersey – Died: 8 February 2005 in Arlington, Virginia) was a university professor.

A subjective reading of a text is one in which emphasis is placed on the attitudes, moods, and opinions of the reader. When we refer to something as “objective” we mean that it pertains to an object (the text) separate from the individual (the reader). An objective reading of a text is one that is uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices. There are 3 studies of Reader-Response Criticism Individualists Those who focus on the individual’s experiences. They study on how an individual’s personal emotions, needs and life experience affect how a reader engages with a text; marginally altering the meaning. Experimenters Those who conduct psychological experiments on their readers. They experiment with the reader’s state of mind during and after a literary experience. The studies shown how readers put a side ordinary knowledge and values while they read, treating, for example, criminals as heroes. Readers also begin accepting unrealistic things but discard them after have finish. Uniformists Those who assume a uniform response by all readers. Uniformists stand to say you will retrieve a different readers response for every type of reader. Therefore, readers can be categorized, and you can end up with a uniform response. Conclusion Reader response theory is the best theory which makes the reader to be active and to analysis a text by their own ways. The theory achieved great importance in 20th century and for student and teachers it is most reliable method of studying and teaching. A.
