Keats reading

Hi all,
Please print and read this article on TEoSA. http://www.clayfox.com/ashessparks/reports/katie.html

The plan for today is as follows:
- Continue our note-taking and evidence gathering for the key aspects of narrative in relation to Enduring Love We'll have a particular focus on what's meant by the 'destination' of the narrative - where is the reader left at the end of the text? What interpretations can be drawn, what themes are highlighted and explored, how might readers be expected to respond to the narrative as a whole? In a way, this is the most important and interesting feature of all; it's fine to think about how narratives are constructed, but what about why they are constructed, and what is their effect? To consider this, we also need to return to the idea of contexts, of production and reception. How might the conditions in which the texts were produced affect them, and what about the conditions in which texts are received?
- We'll also spend some time applying the same ideas to Keats, and thereby create some organised notes.
It's important that we focus not only on where we can identify the key aspects, but also on what their impact is on the narrative as a whole. We can all say, for example, that settings are evocative and important in Keats' work, but we need to make sure that we extend our thinking to cnosider what the impact of this is, and try to find links between the texts.
