David Bleich emphasizes that the meaning of literature is shaped by readers through community consensus, advocating for a shift in English studies from knowledge-finding to knowledge-making. He introduces a revised understanding of language acquisition and a psychologically informed approach to literary response, highlighting the role of educational communities in generating knowledge. Drawing from his classroom experiences, Bleich proposes methods to better integrate the study of language and literature with individual accountability for knowledge.
