Reviews

'Garrett Stewart has produced a richly inclusive, nimbly attentive, celebration of the many dimensions in which reading is played out, across and between its different media and instruments, ear, eye and hand. It brilliantly diagnoses in the present conditions of reading, not a demise but an ongoing reprise of the many historical incarnations of 'bookhood'.' Steven Connor, University of Cambridge 'Dazzlingly brilliant. ... a great book [... of] grand ambitions and stunning achievements ... an amazing accomplishment.' N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California, Los Angeles
