  1938: Literature, World - Archive Article - MSN Encarta
The former, a kind of glorified but unconventional textbook, a commentary on the literature of the world 'From Confucius' Day to Our Own,' was designed to make great works of all time palatable to the general reader.
It followed no order of chronology nor any well defined system of presentation, but was guided by the author's personal predilections and his interest in pointing out similarities between widely disparate civilizations and distant ages.
In Enjoyment of Literature, the sensitive and highly individual novelist and critic, John Cowper Powys, brought together a number of essays on a variety of literary subjects, from the Greeks to Dostoevsky.

 Literature as Exploration Author Louise Rosenblatt Dies at 100
Best known for the influential Literature as Exploration (1938), in which she argued that literature involves a transaction between the reader, the writer, and the text, Louise was a vital force in education for many decades, as well as a longtime and beloved friend to NCTE and its members.
She received her doctorate in comparative literature at the Sorbonne, the faculty of letters of the University of Paris in 1931.
Among numerous later NCTE speaking engagements were the 1999 Elementary Section Get-Together, the College Forum event at the 2001 CEE Luncheon, the 2002 Annual Convention, and the 2004 Annual Convention, at a celebration in honor of her 100th birthday.

 Reader Online, Issue 20: Allen
My first response to Literature as Exploration was, "This is wonderful." In 1938 she had already written a philosophy of literary teaching that had taken me ten years of practice to work out.
She stressed the relationship between literature and the students' social, psychological, and cultural worlds and the need for the teacher to have an interdisciplinary knowledge of the social sciences.
Her interest in English education, her pedagogical emphasis in Literature as Exploration, and the very acclaim this work has received from secondary classroom teachers and from leading members of the NCTE each have militated against a more serious understanding of her theoretical work-in short, politics, both sexual and academic.

 The Expanding Canon: Teaching Multicultural Literature - Theory Overview
Rosenblatt's ideas were a reaction to the formalist theories of the New Critics, who promoted "close readings" of literature, a practice which advocated rigid scholarly detachment in the study of texts and rejected all forms of personal interpretation by the reader.
Rosenblatt believed instead that "the reading of any work of literature is, of necessity, an individual and unique occurrence involving the mind and emotions of some particular reader and a particular text at a particular time under particular circumstances."
Because their personal responses are valued, they begin to see themselves as having both the authority and the responsibility to make judgments about what they read.

 The Significance of Louise Rosenblatt
Thus, in the 1960's and early 70's there occurred a paradigm shift in the teaching of literature away from viewing the text as authority to a view that focuses on the reader's relationship with text (Rosenblatt, 1938, 1964, 1968, 1978; Squire, 1964; Squire and Applebee, 1968; Purves, 1975; Purves and Beach, 1972; Bleich, 1975).
While some practitioners of reader response were heralding the movement as a “new ” approach, Rosenblatt was able to demonstrate that she had been promoting it since 1937 and that she was responsible for many of its terminological and grass root concepts (1946, 1949, 1956, 1963, 1964, 1968, 1969 and 1970).
However, the significance of the Colloquium was that it marked the official acceptance of the reader-response approach to the teaching of literature which has since been taught in the education departments at colleges and universities across the United States.

 Literature:The Good Earth
Her international reputation was established when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938, primarily in recognition of her masterpiece novel, The Good Earth, and two biographies of her parents, The Exile and Fighting Angel, both published in 1936.
Though it may seem problematic to choose a book written by an American, rather than a work of authentic Chinese literature, to introduce American students to Chinese customs, there are several reasons for using The Good Earth.
First, it is popular and many students read it anyway, so a critical discussion of it is important.
