Unlike authors of the "I write for myself" school of thought, Peck has always been upfront about his methods of and intentions in writing for the young ("Our novels are adults in disguise, trying to make contact with young readers who have disguises of their own"), but a more nimble didact with such a grasp of storytelling would be pretty hard to name. In his musical career, if not in other parts of his post-Beatles life, Harrison turned from a seeker who brought new sounds and ideas to his audience to a didact quick to dismiss both indifferent listeners and newer artists. At the same time, it is highly unlikely that peasant readers understood what they were reading exactly as non-peasant authors intended since didactic texts (which is much of what peasants had to read) are rarely received in the ways that didacts expect. |
