Reconstructing Familiar Metaphors: John Dewey and Louise Rosenblatt on Literary Art as Experience

Abstract

Problematizes the word “experience” as it is currently being used by researchers and teachers who want to reform literature instruction in schools and colleges. Discusses how a fresh look at Dewey and Rosenblatt can reconstruct the courtroom and marketplace metaphors as sound alternatives to theories that perpetuate dualistic assumptions about literary experience.
