Aesthetic Experience and Literary Hermeneutics
Hans Robert Jauss
Translated by Michael Shaw
Introduction by Wlad Godzich
“This book is a true summa—the sum total of Jauss’s theoretical and practical criticism since the manifesto essay ‘Literary History as a Challenge to Literary Theory’. Aesthetic Experience and Literary Hermeneutics synchronically and diachronically concentrates on the primary and secondary reception of the text: the immediacy of the reader’s aesthetic experience and the hermeneut’s ever evolving interpretations.” —Comparative Literature Studies
