Struggling over the novel's opening pages, he turns to his flatmate Mark and asks in a puzzled and fragile voice, 'How do you read?' It is a comically simple question for a man in his thirties to ask, but it is also a good one. I think the answer has two parts. The first is to allow a poem to absorb our attention - to cut out distraction and concentrate on the aesthetic, emotional, and conceptual experience that the words afford. Jez struggles with this because he has the television on in the background ('everything bad begins with "turn the telly off" ... '), and we will struggle, too, the more distractions we have to hand. Find a quiet, comfortable space, exercise patience, and we will soon find ourselves grateful to immerse ourselves in contemplation of the words on the page. The second part, which a book such as this can do more to help with, involves reflecting on the experience of reading in ways that refine and deepen our appreciation of it. And that process of reflection might itself be divided up. First, it involves establishing accurately and in detail what is there on the page in front of us; it is an act of description"--Andrew Hodgson (University of Birmingham)808.1KXP1759377996978-1-108-84324-9978-1-108-82412-5HT021143579Online-Ausgabe9781108915212361154_MWA53046810DVAA1260Kob 7FRHKOEN/U 2021 447546611DVAA123746811DVAA1260+12021111020211213DVAA1237rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DDVAA1237 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1121882 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1121882/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1121882
