- Abstract
The readers as per the established practices respond to a literary piece especially poetry when they critically appreciate it from a discerning point of view. This study, in deviation from the traditional pedagogical adherence (where the readers are expected to respond in line with the established practices) and in support of the aim of the new International Association of Ethical Literary Criticism, presents an analysis of a literary piece from an ethical appreciation point of view. Edmund Spenser's poem 'One Day I Wrote Her Name' is selected for this study. To answer the research question 'Can readers respond differently if they ethically appreciate a piece of literary art rather than appreciating critically?', this study discusses the richness and uniqueness of the reader response theory. As well, the researcher selects the excerpts of interview of Nie Zhenzhao, who, being the founder of ethical literary criticism in China, elaborates the theoretical frameworks and core concepts of ethical literary criticism. To conclude this article, the researcher presents 8 points pedagogical guide that is crucial in ethical appreciation of a piece of literary art.
