This study explores effective techniques used in literary criticism that actively recruit the reader’s engagement. By analyzing introductions from a corpus of 12 reputable journals and 38 articles published between 1999 and 2005, the research identifies the impact of these techniques on reader perception and comprehension of specific texts or authors. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights for literary research, enhancing understanding of how critic approaches can influence and enhance reader involvement.
