Recenzii
fascinating study of provincial bookbuyers and book borrowers in the Midlands in the second half of the eighteenth century.
a valuable piece of scholarship, and must become an essential point of departure for any discussion of the history of reading practices and provincial culture in the eighteenth century.
makes a helpful contribution to the history of reading...we can be grateful to Jan Fergus for giving us this thought-provoking foray into the Midland archives.
Rare is a book that uses a slender and apparently particularized archive to transform broader historical understanding. Such a volume is Jan Fergus's investigation of the audience for fiction in eighteenth-century England... skilfully written. Rarely has understatement been so effective, and admonitions are delivered with devastating politeness.
...impressive...I enjoyed this book greatly
The immense scholarly labour Fergus puts in...[helps] to make some very challenging and important claims about the book trade and reading practices...incredibly revealing of the patterns of reading...a very important book
Fergus offers a vivid depiction of reading as a scene of cultural desire and prohibition
represents an undeniably valuable contribution to the new interdisciplinary field of book history ... far from being a dry study of numbers, sets out a provocative snap-shot of the material reality for a reading public forming in early modern England.
