Developments in cultural history and literary criticism have
suggested alternative ways of addressing the interpretation of
reading. How did people read in the past? Where and why did they
read? How were the manner and purpose of reading envisaged and
recorded by contemporaries - and why? Drawing on fields as diverse
as medieval pedagogy, textual bibliography, the history of science,
and social and literary history, this collection of fourteen essays
highlights both the singularity of personal reading experiences and
the cultural conventions involved in reading and its perception. An
introductory essay offers an important critical assessment of the
various contributions to the development of the subject in recent
times. This book constitutes a major addition to our understanding
of the history of readers and reading.
