Description
The spread of literacy in England from 1750 to 1914 was a significant cultural shift. By 1914, half the population could sign their names, marking a major milestone in English society's development. This book explores how and why literacy became an integral part of everyday life in England during this period. It examines the impact of literacy on the lives and minds of ordinary people, shedding light on the ways in which it transformed social norms and cultural practices. The author's investigation reveals the complex factors that contributed to the rapid expansion of literacy, from changes in education policy to shifts in social attitudes towards reading and writing.
