Book production and consumption increased dramatically, and practices such as letter- and diary-writing were widespread. This study demonstrates the importance of the nineteenth century in French cultural change and illustrates the changing priorities and concerns of l'histoire du livre since the 1970s.From the 1830s on, book production experienced an industrial revolution which led to the emergence of a mass literary culture by the close of the century. At the same time, the western world acquired mass literacy. New categories of readers became part of the reading public while western society also learned to write. Reading Culture and Writing Practices in Nineteenth-Century France examines how the concerns of historians have shifted from a search for statistical sources to more qualitative assessments of readers' responses. Martyn Lyons argues that autobiographical sources are vitally important to this investigation and he considers examples of the intimate and everyday writings of ordinary people.Featuring original and intriguing insights as well as references to material hitherto inaccessible to English readers, this study presents a form of 'history from below' with emphasis on the individual reader and writer, and his or her experiences and perceptions. 410 0$aStudies in book and print culture. 606 $aBooks and reading$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWritten communication$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial change$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aWritten communication$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a028/.9094409034 700 $aLyons$b Martyn$0445753 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456811603321 996 $aReading culture and writing practices in nineteenth-century France$92195667 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02584nam 2200661Ia 450 001 9910457638503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8166-8689-0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000347087 035 $a(EBL)310367 035 $a(OCoLC)476094154 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000280573 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11195799 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000280573 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10291484 035 $a(PQKB)10989604 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC310367 035 $a(OCoLC)191953077 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse39278 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL310367 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10159575 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL522963 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000347087 100 $a19951201d1996 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aIdentity papers$b[electronic resource] $econtested nationhood in twentieth-century France /$fSteven Ungar and Tom Conley, editors 210 $aMinneapolis, Minn. $cUniversity of Minnesota Press$dc1996 215 $a1 online resource (310 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8166-2695-2 311 $a0-8166-2694-4 320 $aIncludes bibliograpphical references and index. 327 $aContents; Acknowledgments; Introduction: Questioning Identity; I: The Nation Exposed between the Wars; II: Colonial Projections; III: Screening Vichy; IV: Memory as Malaise and Subversion; Afterword Identity: Never More; Contributors; Index 330 $aWhat does citizenship mean?
