1 1 The Making of Literature : A Continuing Conversation Natalie Bellis , Graham Parr , Brenton Doecke , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Changing English , June vol. 16 no. 2 2009; (p. 165-179) This article borrows the title of an influential Australian study by Ian Reid to raise questions about how students read and respond to texts within classroom settings.
