Description

Explore how literary culture has transformed into a form of popular culture over the last fifteen years. This Routledge publication examines the impact of televised book clubs, film adaptations, and big-box bookstores on modern reading habits. Through original interviews and surveys with readers and event organizers, the text provides a critical analysis of mass reading events across the UK, USA, and Canada. This volume investigates the contemporary meanings of reading in a changing media landscape. It looks at how online bookselling and both face-to-face and online book groups have changed the way people engage with texts. By studying the resurgence of book groups, the research identifies new cultural formations known as "shared reading." This book is an essential resource for understanding the social practices that define how people connect with literature in the modern age.
