Stephen Colclough 
Consuming Texts [PDF ebook] 
Readers and Reading Communities, 1695-1870

Ondersteuning

This volume explores the history of reading in the British Isles during a period in which the printed word became all pervasive. From wealthy readers of ‘amatory fiction’, through to men and women reading surreptitiously at the Victorian railway bookstall, it argues that a variety of new reading communities emerged during this period.
