Description
Explore the transformative period when Europe transitioned from mass illiteracy to widespread literacy with this extensively revised and expanded edition. Rab Houston's comprehensive textbook examines the pivotal roles of education, literacy, and popular culture across the continent during early modern times. Drawing on examples from throughout Europe, this scholarly work focuses on the lived experiences of ordinary men and women rather than solely on privileged elites, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how literacy shaped European society. Perfect for students and historians seeking insight into the social and cultural foundations of the modern world.

Key Features

Covers the complete continental scope of early modern Europe, drawing examples from across diverse regions and communities.

Focuses on ordinary people's experiences with literacy and education rather than limiting analysis to elite perspectives.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in history and social sciences textbooks.

Explores the significance of popular culture alongside formal education in Europe's literacy transition.
