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. Early
Readers presents a number of innovative ways through which we might
capture or infer traces of readers in cultures where most evidence
has been lost. It begins by investigating what a close analysis of
extant texts from 6th-century BCE China can tell us about
contemporary reading practices, explores the reading of medieval
European women and their male medical practitioner counterparts,
traces readers across New Spain, Peru, the Ottoman Empire and the
Iberian world between 1500 and 1800, and ends with an analysis of
the surprisingly enduring practice of reading aloud.
