Taken together, the four volumes of The Edinburgh History of Reading constitute a fascinating compendium of research on readers and reading. […] The volumes successfully demonstrate the diversity of their subjects’ encounters with texts of all kinds, and highlight the importance of reading as both shared cultural practice and intensely individual experience.

- Katherine Halsey, University of Stirling, Library & Information History

This is the kind of survey that scholars have been needing since reading emerged as the subject of a new kind of history in the 1980s. Stretching from ancient China to modern Britain, these essays successfully convey the variety and vitality of our encounters with texts—written, printed and spoken.

- Bill Sherman, Director of the Warburg Institute,

Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the ages Covers reading practices from China in the 6th century BCE to Britain in the 18th centuryEmploys a range of methodologies from close textual analysis to quantitative data on book ownershipExamines a wide range of texts and ways of reading them from English poetry and funeral elegies to translated books in PeruChallenges period-based models of readership historyEarly Readers presents a number of innovative ways through which we might capture or infer traces of readers in cultures where most evidence has been lost. It begins by investigating what a close analysis of extant texts from 6th-century BCE China can tell us about contemporary reading practices, explores the reading of medieval European women and their male medical practitioner counterparts, traces readers across New Spain, Peru, the Ottoman Empire and the Iberian world between 1500 and 1800, and ends with an analysis of the surprisingly enduring practice of reading aloud.
