Cultural History of Reading, Volume 1: World Literature
Cultural History of Reading explores what people have read and why they have read it, at different times and in different places in America and around the world. Written in two volumes, the project links key cultural changes and events to the reading material of the period. In doing so, it offers students and teachers a lens through which to better understand the way that culture shapes, and is shaped by, the act of reading. The set is divided into two volumes, one focused on reading throughout the world, the other focused specifically on reading in the United States. While Volume One explores reading in different regions of the world.
