Historians have often assumed that the lives of the poor and
illiterate can never be known because they have left little written
record of their existence. The voices of the uneducated are there,
however, and their written traces can be deciphered, if we take the
trouble to look for them. This book will establish some of the main
themes and frontiers of a new field of historical study: that of
'ordinary writings', (or ecritures ordinaries) - the improvised and
often ephemeral writings of the poor, the young and the hitherto
silent people of history. This collection of new studies from
France, Belgium, Finland, Spain, Iceland, Greece, Italy and Britain
has a coherent focus on the transition to writing literacy in 19th
and 20th century Europe. The overall theme is the access of
ordinary people to writing, examined in the concrete forms which
writing took and the specific functions which it performed. The
uses of writing, and the cultural practices in which they were
embedded, are explained in their context of social and political
relations, gender relations and relations between the literate and
the illiterate.
