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

Subversive Readers enriches our understanding of the multiple tensions that inform culturally specific acts of reading. This globally diverse collection of essays, written by young scholars as well as seasoned book historians, persuasively demonstrates how reading can be both a collective social practice and an intimately personal experience.

- Barbara Hochman, Ben-Gurion University,

Reveals the experience of reading in many cultures and across the ages Covers pornography and the origins of the transgender movementExplores everyday reading in Nazi GermanyAnalyses prison readingExamines reading in revolutionary societies and occupied nations Subversive Readers explores the strategies used by readers to question authority, challenge convention, resist oppression, assert their independence and imagine a better world. This kind of insurgent reading may be found everywhere: in revolutionary France and Nazi Germany, in Eastern Europe under Communism and in Australian and Iranian prisons, among eighteenth-century women reading history and nineteenth-century men reading erotica, among postcolonial Africans, the blind, and pioneering transgender activists.
