The market for print steadily expanded throughout the
eighteenth-century Atlantic world thanks to printers' efforts to
ensure that ordinary people knew how to read and use printed
matter. Reading is and was a collection of practices, performed in
diverse but always very specific ways. These practices were spread
down the social hierarchy through printed guides. Eve Tavor Bannet
explores guides to six manners or methods of reading, each with its
own social, economic, commercial, intellectual and pedagogical
functions, and each promoting a variety of fragmentary and
discontinuous reading practices. The increasingly widespread
production of periodicals, pamphlets, prefaces, conduct books,
conversation-pieces and fictions, together with schoolbooks
designed for adults and children, disseminated all that people of
all ages and ranks might need or wish to know about reading, and
prepared them for new jobs and roles both in Britain and America.
