Reading the Written Image: Verbal Play, Interpretation, and the Roots of Iconophobia
Christopher Collins
This treatise proposes that reading written texts be regarded as a performance, a unique kind of play that transposes what had once been an oral-dramatic situation into an imaginary stage. The author supplies models drawn from the psychology of play to support his theory.
