Reader-Response Theory Texts - The Nature of Literary Response: 5 Readers Reading by Norman n. Holland (1975)

Holland gives five readers the same texts to read, and guess what? They come up with all kinds of different responses. That's what this one is all about.

To what extent is Holland "reading" not only texts, but readers in this study? What are the advantages of his approach? What are some of the disadvantages?

How does Holland speak about his own reading practice and perspective in this book?
