Paperback. 1982. Toward An Aesthetic Of Reception. By Hans Robert Jauss. (Theory and History of Literature, vol. 2). This translation of "Rezeptionsästhetik" handles the difficult German of Jauss quite well. That is not to say that it makes Jauss any easier to read. As a student of Gadamer, he provides an articulate and precise critique of part of his mentor's work, namely Gadamer's emphasis on "classics." For those interested in reception history and hermeneutics, this text is a necessary companion to "Truth and Method." If you are practising or interested in literary study/research this book is a classic reference.
