Reception Theory's understanding of textual meaning as the social and historical life of texts gives it a metacritical status in relation to other interpretive discourses, which are themselves a part of that life. Philip Goldstein's Communities of Cultural Value makes an important move in putting reception theory back on the agenda of literary and cultural studies.
