Hillis Miller. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt enables its readers to see how and why theoretical models of reading are of use only in the practical event of reading literary and philosophical texts, that the politics and poetics of interpretive paradigms are constantly shifting, changing and evolving as present day perspectives transform those traditions unalterably. it seeks to invite its readers to challenge the concept of the paradigm, the school, the movement, even the sequence, by presenting them with a choice to read in their own way, to \"dip\" in and out of singular events of interpretation from A to Z.  In this respect \u003ci\u003eReading Theory Now\u003c\/i\u003e invites its audience to decide for him\/herself where they begin and end their own critical analyses.             \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReading Theory Now\u003c\/i\u003e also contains: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*A Preface by J.
