The Edinburgh History of Reading - Subversive Readers (Hardcover)

Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the ages Covers pornography and the origins of the transgender movement Explores everyday reading in Nazi Germany Analyses prison reading Examines reading in revolutionary societies and occupied nations Subversive Readers explores the strategies used by readers to question authority, challenge convention, resist oppression, assert their independence and imagine a better world.
