"In much of his earlier work Roger D. Sell was shaping literary studies, historical
perspectives, and pragmatics into a fluent interdisciplinarity. This enabled him to
explore the fundamentally human relationships which develop between literary writers
and those who respond to them. Literary writers, through their handling of deixis,
evaluative and modal expressions, tellability, politeness norms, and genre expectations,
activate the same interpersonal function of language as do other language users, and
respondents' hermeneutic contextualizations of literary texts are, as a pragmatic
procedure, no less standard. Not that context is completely determinative. In Sell's
account, human beings are profoundly influenced by society, but can sometimes enter
into co-adaptations with it. Like other people, literary writers and their respondents
are "social individuals", who themselves benefit from respecting each other's relative
autonomy. As well as explaining these theoretical positions, the papers selected here
offered critical re-assessments of some major writers, including Chaucer and Dickens.
They also suggested new ways of dealing with literary texts in literary and language
education at all levels"
