Description
Consuming Texts: Readers and Reading Communities, 1695-1870 by Stephen Colclough explores the history of reading in the British Isles during a period when printed words became ubiquitous. This study reveals how various new reading communities emerged, from those who devoured 'amatory fiction' to those who read surreptitiously at railway bookstalls.
The book examines the diverse reading experiences of men and women across different social classes, shedding light on the ways in which reading was both a source of pleasure and a means of subversion. By tracing the evolution of reading communities over this period, Colclough provides a nuanced understanding of how reading shaped British culture.
