Description

Explore the radical transformation of literacy with Reading and the Victorians. Part of the Nineteenth Century Series from Routledge, this book examines the era when reading habits changed faster than at any other time in history. As book production moved to machines and mass education increased literacy rates to unprecedented levels, the foundations of modern reading were laid. This volume provides a deep look into the social and technical shifts of the era. It investigates how specific elements, such as the impact of tallow candles, influenced how people read. You will also learn about the reading practices promoted by Mudie's Select Library and the role of feminist periodicals. By studying the changing relationship between authors and their readers, this work offers a clear view of how the Victorian age shaped the way we consume literature today.
