About this title

Synopsis

Discusses the processes of reading, interpretation, and criticism from a semiotic perspective

From the Back Cover

Discussing a wide range of literary theory in a clear and accessible way, prize-winning author Robert Scholes here continues his ongoing construction of a humane semiotic approach to the problems of reading, writing, and teaching. Taking the view that 'all the world's a text, ' Scholes considers numerous texts from life and literature, including photographs, paintings, and television commercials as well as biographies and novels.
