Is There a Text in This Class?
by Stanley Fish
Review this book!
A breakthrough text from the '80s that changed literary criticism and teaching. Fish shifted the focus of authority from the text and/or the author (or the professor in the classroom) to the experience of the reader--as well as of readers in what he calls "interpretive communities."

Publisher Notes
Essays reexamine the fundamental assumptions of literary criticism, and the debate about interpretation, and offer a fresh approach to thinking about literature.
Media Reviews
"These essays demonstrate why Fish has become the center--as both source and focus--of so much intellectual energy in contemporary American critica theory. For brilliance and forcefulness in argumentation and for sheer boldness of mind and spirit, he has no match."
