Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the
ages Covers reading practices from China in the 6th century BCE to
Britain in the 18th century Employs a range of methodologies from
close textual analysis to quantitative data on book ownership
Examines a wide range of texts and ways of reading them from
English poetry and funeral elegies to translated books in Peru
Challenges period-based models of readership history 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.
