More Than a Reader and Less Than a Critic : Literary Authority and Women's Book-Discussion Groups Frances Devlin-Glass , 2001 single work criticism
— Appears in: Women's Studies International Forum , vol. 24 no. 5 2001; (p. 571-585) 'The phenomenon of women reading books collaboratively is largely invisible, and certainly under-researched. This study, based on extensive circulation figures and on a small sample of members of four Council of Adult Education reading groups in metropolitan Melbourne, argues that such groups have a reading repertoire which is seriously middlebrow, far removed from the "wish-fulfillment" or "lazy reader" stereotypes purveyed by some who would scorn such groups. The study finds that such groups are sensitively served by the institution which hosts them. While such groups do not question the aesthetic assumptions that underlie their practice, they are combative with some manifestations of the literary establishment. Their powerful preferences for contemporary Australian women's fiction and their participation in global debates via identity politics suggests they warrant closer examination, both within Australian culture, and to find out if such groups have counterparts in other cultures.' -- Publication abstract.
