City Reading: Written Words and Public Spaces in Antebellum New York - Popular Cultures, Everyday Lives
David Henkin
Henkin explores the influential but little-noticed role reading played in New York City's public life between 1825 and 1865. The "ubiquitous urban texts"--from newspapers to paper money, from street signs to handbills--became both indispensable urban guides and apt symbols for a new kind of public life that emerged first in New York.
