Beskrivning
Bringing together the latest scholarship from all over the world on topics ranging from reading practices in ancient China to the workings of the twenty-first-century reading brain, the 4 volumes of the Edinburgh History of Reading demonstrate that reading is a deeply imbricated, socio-political practice, at once personal and public, defiant and obedient. It is often materially ephemeral, but it can also be emotionally and intellectually enduring.Common Readers casts a fascinating light on the literary experiences of ordinary people: miners in Scotland, churchgoers in Victorian London, workers in Czarist Russia, schoolgirls in rural Australia, farmers in Republican China, and forward to today's online book discussion groups. Chapters in this volume explore what they read, and how books changed their lives.Jonathan Rose is William R. Kenan Professor of History at Drew University.

Recensioner i media

Taken together, the four volumes of The Edinburgh History of Reading constitute a fascinating compendium of research on readers and reading. […] The volumes successfully demonstrate the diversity of their subjects’ encounters with texts of all kinds, and highlight the importance of reading as both shared cultural practice and intensely individual experience.
