Of Essays and Reading in Early Modern Britain (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)

"Of Essays and Reading in Early Modern Britain" traces the co-evolution of the essay and the mode of literacy it enabled. Focusing on the interactive processes of reading captured by the form, "Of Essays" offers a new approach to early modern textuality. It shows how the genre served to record, test and disseminate the readerly skills required by a developing print culture, and how the essay was adopted as a mechanism of natural science, the public sphere, and the novel.
