Self-Consuming Artifacts

Self-Consuming Artifacts

"Self-Consuming Artifacts: The Experience of Seventeenth-Century Literature" (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1972) is book of literary criticism by American literary critic Stanley Fish. In it, Fish examines various English writers from the seventeenth century, including Sir Francis Bacon, George Herbert, John Bunyan, and John Milton. Since it explores the reader’s experience of reading the text, it can be considered an example of reader-response criticism.
