Her close reading of each text reveals a hitherto unexplored area of communication between narrator and audience, as well as between \"implied author\" and \"implied reader.\" By using this approach, the author situates each of these works not in its historical, cultural, or economic contexts but in the situation the text itself produces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Atsuko Sakaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674750942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674750944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.36w x 1.03d","brand":"Atsuko Sakaki","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096690794751,"sku":"9780674750944","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recontextualizing-texts-atsuko-sakaki-9780674750944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
