"Consuming Texts" explores the history of reading in the British
Isles during a period in which the printed word became all
pervasive. Beginning with an overview of recent work, it goes on to
provide a series of case studies of individual readers and the
communities to which they belonged. From wealthy readers of
'amatory fiction' in the early Eighteenth century, through to men
and women reading surreptitiously at the Victorian railway
bookstall, it argues that a variety of new reading communities
emerged during this period.
