Description

In this insightful and provocative essay, Peter Kivy argues that there are distinct analogies between "silent" reading and performance. Readers have an "experience" when they read silently to themselves akin to the experience one would have had when the rhapsode recited Homer to the citizens of Plato's Athens.
