Talk:Reader-response criticism

David Bordwell
I don't see how David Bordwell's critical work relates to Reader Response since he seems to be a Formalist.Eriol11 (talk) 06:25, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

ETA--the whole 'Extensions' page (where Bordwell was mentioned) is quite poorly edited, featuring a number of unsubstantiated claims.Eriol11 (talk) 06:24, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

C.S. Lewis
It's nice to think that Lewis might have been a reader response critic avant la lettre, but alas, it's not true, and it's especially not true of his Experiment in Criticism. Lewis does say there that a critic should not to try to tackle works which he or she absolutely hates, but that doesn't amount to a thorough-going endorsement of RR criticism. If nobody objects within a month or so, I will delete the reference to Lewis' book (which is an excellent book, but not one based on a RR methodology.

Credibility of article
There are large concerns with the content of this article as there is little citations proving its claims. It appears from a quick Google search that most of the information has been retrieved from this site http://www.criticalpracticechelsea.org/wiki/index.php?title=Reader_Response_Criticism. The types of reader-response criticism have not been clearly defined as different theorists have some elements in common whilst others contrasting, and this is not clearly stated. There are some portions of this article that are correct yet the structure of this article is confused and not explicit enough detailing the history of reader-response criticism and its concerning theorists. I would suggest a contents change including: 1. The evolution of reader-response criticism 2. Approaches to reader-response criticism (using Tyson's five classifications of reader-response approached: transactional reader-response theory; affective stylistics; subjective reader-response theory; psychological reader-response theory; social reader-response theory) 3. Interpretive communities 4. Oppositions to reader-response criticism 5. Extensions These changes would be supported by credible sources. It would also allow readers to comprehend the foundations of reader-response criticism and provide a better structured article to be built upon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NicoleJR (talk • contribs) 03:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Proust
Am I wrong to wonder if Proust's Contre Sainte-Beuve was among the origins of reader response theory? FangoFuficius (talk) 08:34, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
