Ashford ENG 438 Week 2 Discussion 2 Reader-Response and Rhetorical Tradition
1. Reader-Response and Rhetorical Tradition. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Lynn explains on page 69 that “Reader- Response in all its variety is closely related to the study of rhetoric” (2011). What is rhetoric? How does the comparison to rhetoric help illuminate the reader-response perspective and how it diverges from New Criticism? Do you find this explanation of reader-response helps you understand the theory better? Or does it add to the complexity of the mode for you? Support your assertions with clear reasoning and examples.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
