Liz Dexter asked 25 book groups to read a novel by Iris Murdoch and tell her what they thought, what they knew of Murdoch and whether they thought “The Bell” was a good book group read. Comparing their responses to those of academia and professional critics, using Reception Theory as a basis, Liz Dexter has made some interesting findings about the effect of cultural issues on the reading experience of the ‘ordinary reader’.
