Description

Explore the massive shift in European society from 1500 to 1800 through the lens of education and literacy. In this historical study, Rab Houston examines how Europe moved from a period where few could read or write to the dawn of mass literacy. This book provides a broad perspective by drawing examples from across the entire continent. Rather than focusing solely on privileged elites, the text concentrates on the lived experiences of ordinary men and women. It offers a detailed look at how education, literacy, and popular culture changed the lives of everyday people during this significant era of transition.
