Summary:[...]our most ancient and sophisticated interpretive traditions call for nothing less than the reader's complete freedom. [...]we become the romantic inheritors of the deities of Lucretius. Mannejc sees interpretation as dialogue; Rome sees criticism (critique) as dialogic; Mack seems to regard poetry, or imaginative writing generally, as dialogical; and finally McGrem turns the distinction completely around and argues that dialogue is poetry, or at any rate that it is a non-informational form of discourse.
