Title: Language Truth And Literature A Defence Of Literary Humanism
Description: Richard Gaskin offers an original defence of literary humanism according to which works of imaginative literature have an objective meaning which is fixed at the time of production and not subject to individual readers' responses. He shows that the appreciation of literature is a cognitive activity fully on a par with scientific investigation.
