AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"An important transitional book, usefully summarizing the past and thoughtfully mapping out the future of a significant critic's theoretical project."-- Modern Philology. "There is a much greater emphasis on the reader's function as 'performer' of the text in Prospecting than in Iser's other books. The two brilliant chapters on Beckett's fiction and drama are crucial here... Literature becomes 'play' and 'game,' and the reader becomes a performer of himself. This idea of performance becomes central to Iser's new theory. Art does not present life; it performs it."-- Yearbook of English Studies.Iser, Wolfgang is the author of 'Prospecting' with ISBN 9780801837920 and ISBN 0801837928.
