Reader Response Theory: An Introduction |What is Reader Response Theory?|

Reader Response theory is a major theory that flourished in the decade of 1970s in response to new Criticism. Though Reader Response Theory emerged during the 1930s the success of New Criticism did not allow Reader-Response Theory to flourish. New Criticism made some radical changes in the way a text should be approached, and one of them being that the role of the reader was curtailed or reduced to a greater extent in defining the meaning of a text. Under the influence of New Criticism, the objective approach was stressed and the author and reader were almost rendered as dead or as an inactive entity, Roland Barth's Death of the Author is an example of this. However, after the 1970s, New Criticism started losing its ground, thus providing space to Reader Response Theory. Under the influence of Louise Rosenblatt, Wayne C. Both, Stanely Fish, and Wolfgang Iser, Reader Response Theory was revived. Reader Response Theory in contrast to New Criticism stressed the subjective approach and the significance of Reader in producing the meaning of a text. There are many concepts that later emerged in the Reader Response Theory, like Transactional Reader Response Theory, Affective Stylistics, Psychological Reader Response Theory, Social Reader Response Theory, etc. In this lecture series we will deal with all major concepts concerning Reader Response Theory: To go to the Playlist section of Reader Response Theory Click the link below:    • Reader Response Theory   To go to the Playlist section of Literary Theory and Criticism Click the link below:    • Literary Theory and Criticism   #ReaderResponseTheory #NewCriticism #Urakedmi Chapters:
