@Valerie_Lillis @kbg @musingoddity @bookstodon That is serious reader response theory! With a side of New Criticism, sounds like.

And also a great example of why reader response should never be the entire focus of a class.

I'm not entirely enthused about using fiction to teach sociology either, not least because it always falls short for that, but historical context is good to provide.
