Reviews

This excellent collection of essays adds substantially to our understanding of the reading practices of ordinary people in the past. Dealing with readers as diverse as C18th Scottish lead-miners, C20th Chinese peasants and C21st online fan communities, it is exceptionally wide-ranging. I highly recommend it.--Katie Halsey, University of Stirling Taken together, the four volumes of The Edinburgh History of Reading constitute a fascinating compendium of research on readers and reading. [...] The volumes successfully demonstrate the diversity of their subjects' encounters with texts of all kinds, and highlight the importance of reading as both shared cultural practice and intensely individual experience.--Katie Halsey, University of Stirling
