About The Pleasure in/of the Text

Why do we read? What exactly thrills us in the text? Drawing on the work of Roland Barthes, this collection explores the notion of readerly enjoyment, between form and content, emotion and reason, and escapism and knowledge seeking, to understand how literary and ideological pleasures intersect.
