Reader response in secondary and college classrooms

"This text, based on Louise M. Rosenblatt's tranactional model of literature, focuses on the applications transactional reader-response theory - on activating it in the classroom. It emerges from frequent requests for teaching suggestions from secondary school and college teachers for how to put theory into practice. This is not simply a "what should I do on Monday" cookbook but an expression of the practice of theory in college and secondary school classrooms."--BOOK JACKET.
