Materializing the Reading Process: Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair

Abstract

This study suggests that Jasper Fforde’s novel The Eyre Affair (2001) is a fictional representation of the reader response theory. Being the first novel of the Thursday Next series, the novel introduces the reader an alternate universe in which there are no boundaries between the real and the fictitious worlds. Allowing the reader enter Jane Eyre’s story both on a mental and physical level, Fforde’s rewriting fills in the gaps within the source text with alternative incidents. Basing its argument on Louise M. Rosenblatt’s theory concerning the transactional reader response theory, this study displays the reader’s dynamic role during the reading process by emphasizing the intertextual relationship between Jane Eyre and The Eyre Affair.
