About The Dark Side of Literacy: Literature and Learning Not to Read

Reading is good for us. The reading of literature, we are told, enlarges our horizons, extends our experience beyond our own lives. But the moral and political dangers that attend the association of reading with experience have long been understood. And is that association even valid? What if precisely our most important literary texts are constructed so as to challenge or disrupt it?This book is a radical criticism of the concept of and “reading, and ” especially of the concept of and “the and ” reader, as commonly used in literary criticism. Bennett starts with the point that and “reading and ” does not name a single, identifiable type of experience or class of experiences. Her then sketches in broad terms the historical provenance of and “the and ” reader, in an argument that includes discussions of Dante, Boccaccio, Cervantes, Marlowe, and German idealist philosophy.In two concluding chapters on modern German novellas, he suggests that most major European literary works since the eighteenth century are written in direct opposition to the central concepts by which criticism has sought to lay hold of them.
