Literary Theory and Appreciation: Learning about the Literary Craft.
Soter, Anna O.; Letcher, Mark
Journal of Children's Literature, v24 n2 p22-31 Fall 1998
Presents two scenarios representing two very different critical perspectives: a text-focused and a reader-focused approach. Argues that using literary theory to look at a literary text anew results in a richer engagement with that text and helps students to want to engage with the work. (SC)
