Imagining an English Reading Public, 1150–1400 - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Breen, Katharine (Associate Professor, Northwestern University, Illinois)
Examining the concept of habitus - acquired patterns of thought, behaviour and taste that result from internalizing culture or objective social structures - Katharine Breen argues that the adaptation of elite, clerical forms of habitus for lay audiences established the conceptual foundations for a reading public in medieval England.
