Literature Is Its Audience.
Mandel, Barrett J.
College Teaching, v35 n3 p107-10 Sum 1987
Three elements of the reading process--presence, mediation, and ego response--help students discover their own ontological, intellectual, and psychological role in bringing forth literature's meanings. Students experience a dramatic shift in their ability to make sense of literature as they become increasingly conscious of these three elements. (MLW)
