The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period
St Clair, William (University of Cambridge)
In this 2004 book, William St Clair investigates how reading shaped the national culture over four centuries of printing and publishing, through a quantitative study of the books that were actually read. Using the Romantic period as a starting point, he reaches startling conclusions about the forces that determined how print carried ideas into wider society.
