Un clásico de C. S. Lewis que nace de la convicción de que la literatura existe para el deleite del lector y que los libros deben ser juzgados por el tipo de lectura que invitan.
Clive Lewis sostiene que la "buena lectura", al igual que la acción moral o la experiencia religiosa, implica la entrega a la obra en cuestión y un proceso de entrar de lleno en las opiniones de los demás: "al leer la gran literatura me convierto en mil hombres y sigo siendo yo mismo". Para su idea de juzgar la literatura es fundamental el compromiso de dejar de lado las expectativas y los valores ajenos a la obra, para acercarse a ella con una mente abierta.
En medio de la compleja maraña de teorías críticas actuales, la sabiduría de C. S. Lewis es valiosamente realista, refrescante y estimulante en las cuestiones que plantea sobre la experiencia de la lectura en este clásico, Un experimento de crítica literaria.
An Experiment in Criticism
A C. S. Lewis's classic that springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that book should be judged by the kind of reading they invite.
Clive Lewis argues that "good reading," like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: "in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself." Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, to approach it with an open mind.
Amid the complex welter of current critical theories, C. S. Lewis's wisdom is valuably down-to-earth, refreshing and stimulating in the questions it raises about the experience of reading.
