But what will those conversations look like to random people stumbling upon them?
Comment by onewheeljoe: What do annotations in an edited volume of Shakespeare communicate to a struggling 9th grade reader? It strikes me that reader-text interactions always leave meaning negotiable, messy and interaction dependent.
Does this question attempt to rubric-ize the notes we'd put in margins?

And the result is a book, which is being released this month by Polity Press.
The metaphor behind "release" is pretty profound. Released into the wild. Like the book is a injured wild thing that has been nursed to health and now returns to the zeitgeist from whence it came? More like a domesticated thing that we allow in and out through the pet flap in the door?
I am thinking more in terms of 'reader response' theory which argues among other things that the book as a stable thing that the authors have control over no longer exists once it is 'released' into the reader wild. As lit-crit David Bleich once noted, "Knowledge is made by people, not found."

This is a key term for Rosenblatt.

the reader should not project ideas or attitudes that have no defensible linkage with the text.
Important, no?
