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. Subversive
Readers explores the strategies used by readers to question
authority, challenge convention, resist oppression, assert their
independence and imagine a better world. This kind of insurgent
reading may be found everywhere: in revolutionary France and Nazi
Germany, in Eastern Europe under Communism and in Australian and
Iranian prisons, among eighteenth-century women reading history and
nineteenth-century men reading erotica, among postcolonial
Africans, the blind, and pioneering transgender activists.Jonathan
Rose is William R. Kenan Professor of History at Drew University.
