What does close reading mean?
- Close reading
- In literary criticism, close reading is the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of a text. A close reading emphasizes the single and the particular over the general, effected by close attention to individual words, the syntax, the order in which the sentences unfold ideas, as well as formal structures. A truly attentive close reading means thinking about both what is being said in a passage (the content), and how it is being said (the form, i.e. the manner in which the content is presented) and leading it to possibilities for observation and insight.
