Tomado de la tapa: “Criticism offers insights into varying conceptions of the world on the grounds that its material gives pleasure. Because they have attracted readers and audiences, stories, songs and performances give us access to a range of social values. That the work was created shows what was imaginable at the time; that it secured attention implies that what was imagined also resonated with others. There are many possible motives for reading: to keep up, to belong, to impress. But beyond all these, and more powerful by far, is enjoyment.”
