Description

Discover how reading transformed during the Victorian era in this scholarly examination of one of history's most radical shifts in literacy and book culture. Reading and the Victorians explores the period when machine-driven book production and mass education revolutionised reading practices across society. The essays within investigate the tangible factors that shaped Victorian reading habits, from the influence of tallow candles on reading environments to the role of Mudie's Select Library in determining what people read. The collection examines feminist periodicals and their contribution to reading culture, whilst also exploring the evolving relationship between authors and their audiences during this formative period. Essential for historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in how modern reading practices emerged from Victorian innovations in publishing, education, and social access to books.

Key Features

Reading and the Victorians analyses the historical transformation of reading practices during an era of unprecedented change in book production and literacy.

Essays examine how specific Victorian elements like tallow candles directly shaped the physical experience and conditions of reading in homes and public spaces.

The collection explores Mudie's Select Library and its significant influence on which books Victorian readers accessed and how they engaged with literature.

Feminist periodicals receive detailed analysis for their role in establishing alternative reading practices and challenging conventional Victorian literary culture.

Part of The Nineteenth Century Series, this book provides scholarly context for understanding how modern reading norms originated in the Victorian period.

The author-reader relationship is examined through essays that reveal how Victorian publishing industry changes affected both literary creation and consumption.
