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. Modern
Readers explores the myriad places and spaces in which reading has
typically taken place since the eighteenth century, from the
bedrooms of the English upper classes, through large parts of
nineteenth-century Africa and on-board ships and trains travelling
the world, to twenty-first-century reading groups. It encompasses a
range of genres from to science fiction, music and self-help to
Government propaganda.
