Sommario/riassunto

Dit proefschrift richt zich voornamelijk op een aantal aspecten van kwaliteit van leven bij jong volwassenen die genezen zijn van jeugdkanker. Tijdens hun jaarlijkse bezoek aan de Polikliniek Late Effecten Kindertumoren (PLEK) werd aan 500 survivors, in de leeftijd van 16 tot 49 jaar, gevraagd een vragenlijst in te vullen. De resultaten werden vergeleken met een controlegroep van personen die in het verleden geen kanker hebben gehad.

Sommario/riassunto

This text aims to explode two notions that are commonplace in American cultural histories of the 19th century: that the spread of literature was a simple force for the democratization of taste, and that there was a body of 19th-century literature that reflected "a nation of readers".
