    Reading Oriented Criticism: An overview
    (White Falcon Publishing, 2025) H. M. Arif, Aareena Nazneen
    This paper provides a comprehensive overview of Reader-Oriented Criticism, highlighting its philosophical foundations in Hermeneutics and Phenomenology. It explores how the reader, rather than the author or the text, plays a decisive role in the construction of literary meaning. Through the critical insights of theorists such as Wolfgang Iser, Hans Robert Jauss, Stanley Fish, and Georges Poulet, the study emphasizes the interactive and subjective nature of reading. It discusses the evolution of reader-response theory from ancient philosophical roots to modern literary discourse. The paper highlights the significance of the reader's consciousness, identity, and context in shaping textual interpretation.
