What does literary reading mean?

-I only found some definitions for literary analysis but no result for literary reading

You might say that I am taking the sort of reading developed as a way to more fully appreciate literature and applying it to a wider range of texts. You could describe the sort of close reading of all texts that I teach as a generalizing of literary reading so that, rather than a way to read a particular kind of text, it becomes a particular way to read all texts.

Where did you hear of "literary reading"? Maybe the context will help us answer. – GEdgar Feb 4 at 21:54

Please add appropriate citation: Jane Gallop. "The Ethics of Reading: Close Encounters," Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, Vol. 16, no. 3 (Fall 2000). – MετάEd Feb 5 at 15:53

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.
