Literary Fiction Reception

The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to literary reception theory and tracing the evolution of critical frameworks. It then analyzes the role of formal literary reviews, the impact of literary awards, and the cultural afterlives of literary works through film adaptations and incorporation into educational curricula.

By drawing upon diverse sources, including archival material and audience reception studies, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of how literary fiction gains meaning and influence, particularly within the English-speaking world.
