About this title

Synopsis

Drawing on substantive research from various disciplines, Ellen Esrock shows that the reader's visual imagery can have unique cognitive and affective consequences that heighten not only the experience of reading but also the scholarly study of literature.

"In exploring the familiar problem of `reader response,' Ellen Esrock shifts the emphasis to visual response--asking what it is that readers `see' in the `mind's eye' as they read. She poses questions in as clear a form as possible, surveys the most important answers provided by literary and psychological scholarship, and suggests directions for further research and reflection. The Reader's Eye is a quite original book."--W. J. T. Mitchell, University of Chicago
