Leitura comunal,coletiva,em família em voz alta é um hábito de outrora que admiro.Aqui nesta obra detalha em tópicos estes tipos de leitura e seus leitores,assim como a popularização dos livros de ficção que impulsionou a leitura solitária e individual, nascendo um novo tipo de leitor.
Nota-se também a grande preocupação é temor que a cultura patriarcal tinha em controlar tudo o que as mulheres liam para controla-las,moralizar e "educar" ,como se fossem seres fracos de mente e não tivessem capacidade de discernimento.
E um livro cheio de curiosidades e informações retiradas de cartas,diários sobre os hábitos peculiares de leitura e como pessoas tinham acesso e guardavam os livros. Interessante.

Ich brauchte das Buch für einen zu schreibenden Text und habe nur einen Teil davon ganz gelesen, aber vom Rest zumindest jede Seite betrachtet, nichts komplett übersprungen und auch nicht nach der Hälfte aufgehört. Das ist das erste Buch hier drin, an das ich so laxe Gelesenheitsmaßstäbe anlege, aber in diesen schlechten Zeiten, in denen ich fast gar keine Bücher lese, muss das reichen. Die gründlich gelesenen Teile waren gut, die überflogenen sind es bestimmt auch.

This book is really well researched, but the writing style is such a challenge to get through. So much information packed into really dense paragraphs makes for difficult reading. The best chapter by far was chapter 4. Access to Reading.
