The key aspect of this volume is to place Hungary on the map of
European literacy rates over the whole period between the initial
stimuli of Renaissance and Reformation and the developed,
state-organized educational systems of the later 19th century.
Toth's work is a broad international comparative analysis,
concentrating on the long-term development of literacy rates and
the use of written and oral culture in early modern societies. An
examination is provided of elementarey schools and their teachers,
as well as book reading among peasants and noblemen throughout the
16th to 19th centuries in Hungary. Significant sections are
included on the development of libraries during the period and on
the use of different languages, particularly Latin. By way of
illustration examples are taken of village life, legal and
administrative issues and the clergy to contribute to major debates
in the field of language, literacy, linguistics and social history.
