The essays in this volume contribute to the ongoing critical study of reader or audience responses to texts by focusing attention on the creative misunderstanding in the relationship. While demonstrating that response depends on the functioning of shared codes, it suggests that attempts to explain the communication of meaning will at the same time reveal the varieties of at least partial failure that will accompany it.
