  13. I am interested in the active reader, who revisits Murdoch’s novel for the purpose of understanding its truth, not simply the reader who reads just for cursory knowledge. As Roman Ingarden mentions, the serious consumer of art or scholar’s “whole effort is aimed at pressing forward to the characteristic form of the work, foregoing his own recreation of a new reconstruction of it.” See The Cognition of the L iterary Work of Art, trans. R. Crowley and K. Olson (Evanston: Northwestern UP, 1973), 349.
