Our draft is underway, and in the capable hands of our girl-genius, Nerissa, in the technology department.
I have been "googling" off and on for Alan C. Purves since Tuesday night, and I have not come up with anything substantial. All the internet has given me is that he is an esteemed author for writing across languages and cultures. This is his book. Buy it.
Has anyone had any luck finding something written by him that is easily accessible?
Any tidbit would be appreciated.
I blogged in an earlier post under Intellectually trippy about how the transactional theory of reading made me realize a new perspective of how a reader absorbs the written word and creates a poem. I'm finding helpful information along the way to the completion of my transactional paper, but that first paper by Probst is still the one that had the most impact on me.
Shirley, I had the SAME result! I think I may have referred to him (or maybe it was Probst), but I do remember seeing that there was nothing substantial that he had on the internet except as you say "buy this book to find out".
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me and putting this out there.
I only did a brief search for him so far, and I got a whole lot of different Alan Purves. I doubt the man has a Facebook account or allows his UK address and phone number on the internet, so I would best avoid a lot of those links that came up on Google. Heh heh!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI actually found the following for my paper:
Purves, Alan C. "The Aesthetic Mind of Louise Rosenblatt." Reader 20 (1988): 68-77.
.
That's the APA citation for the article. I hope this helps.
CV check my email, I sent you guys some resources...
