Turning reading into research: Researching literature through its reception.

Research Methods in Literary Reception Studies is the first handbook that offers a systematic, hands-on guide to the study of literary reception. It shows how scholars can examine readers' responses to literature, as well as how texts are evaluated, discussed, rewarded and circulated across social and institutional settings. By combining empirical, sociological, digital and text-focused approaches, the book offers clear guidance on research design, data collection, and analysis. Each chapter offers step-by-step methodological instruction and illustrates its application through a concrete case study. What especially distinguishes this volume, however, is its strong practical orientation and its integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches within a single, coherent framework. Written for advanced students and researchers, this handbook ultimately provides a shared methodological toolbox for studying literature as a cultural practice.
