It focuses on the kinds of literatures that were more readily available to the widest spectrum of the population. Four case studies from many possibilities have been selected, each examining a particular type of popular literature under the headings 'religious', 'moral', 'practical' and 'fictional'. A key concern of the book is how we might use particular types of evidence in order to understand more about reading practice and experience, so issues of method and approach are discussed fully in the opening chapter. One distinctive element of this book is that it attempts to uncover evidence for the reading practices and experiences of real, rather than ideal, readers, using evidence that is found within the material of a book or manuscript itself, or within the structure of a specific genre of literature. Salter attempts to negotiate a path through a set of methodological and interpretive issues in order to arrive at a better understanding of how people may have read and what they may have read. This, in turn, leads on to how we may interpret the evidence that manuscripts and early printed books provide for the ways that medieval and early modern people engaged with reading. This book will be of interest to academics and research students who study the history of reading, popular culture, literacy, manuscript and print culture, as well as to those interested more generally in medieval and early modern society and culture. 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aProse: Non-Fiction$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisach 606 $aBiography & non-fiction prose$2thema 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y1066-1485 610 $aEnglish. 610 $aearly modern England. 610 $afictional literature. 610 $aliterary form. 610 $aliterary voice. 610 $amanuscript. 610 $amaterial evidence. 610 $amoral reading. 610 $apage layout. 610 $apopular reading. 610 $apractical texts. 610 $aprinted book. 610 $areading experience. 610 $areading practice. 610 $areligious texts. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aProse: Non-Fiction 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General 615 7$aBiography & non-fiction prose 676 $a028.9094109024 700 $aSalter$b Elisabeth$f1972-$01465515 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796424503321 996 $aPopular reading in English c. 1400-1600$93675537 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04425nam 22007214a 450 001 9910785048203321 005 20230818214348.0 010 $a1-282-67921-X 010 $a9786612679216 010 $a0-226-67377-4 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226673776 035 $a(CKB)2670000000033506 035 $a(EBL)557578 035 $a(OCoLC)648759799 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000421228 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11315492 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000421228 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10412659 035 $a(PQKB)11291433 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC557578 035 $a(DE-B1597)524990 035 $a(OCoLC)1135563518 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226673776 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL557578 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10402618 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL267921 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000033506 100 $a20050915d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aIt was like a fever $estorytelling in protest and politics /$fFrancesca Polletta 210 1$aChicago :$cUniversity of Chicago Press,$d2006. 215 $a1 online resource (xiv, 242 pages) 311 0 $a0-226-67375-8 311 0 $a0-226-67376-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 189-230) and index. 327 $aWhy stories matter -- "It was like a fever--" : why people protest -- Strategy as metonymy : why activists choose the strategies they do -- Stories and reasons : why deliberation is only sometimes democratic -- Ways of knowing and stories worth telling : why casting oneself as a victim sometimes hurts the cause -- Remembering Dr. King on the House and Senate floor : why movements have the impacts they do -- Conclusion: folk wisdom and scholarly tales. 330 $aActivists and politicians have long recognized the power of a good story to move people to action. In early 1960 four black college students sat down at a whites-only lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave. Within a month sit-ins spread to thirty cities in seven states. Student participants told stories of impulsive, spontaneous action-this despite all the planning that had gone into the sit-ins. "It was like a fever," they said. Francesca Polletta's It Was Like a Fever sets out to account for the power of storytelling in mobilizing political and social movements. Drawing on cases ranging from sixteenth-century tax revolts to contemporary debates about the future of the World Trade Center site, Polletta argues that stories are politically effective not when they have clear moral messages, but when they have complex, often ambiguous ones. The openness of stories to interpretation has allowed disadvantaged groups, in particular, to gain a hearing for new needs and to forge surprising political alliances. But popular beliefs in America about storytelling as a genre have also hurt those challenging the status quo. A rich analysis of storytelling in courtrooms, newsrooms, public forums, and the United States Congress, It Was Like a Fever offers provocative new insights into the dynamics of culture and contention. 606 $aStorytelling$xPolitical aspects 606 $aCommunication$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitics and culture 606 $aCommunication in folklore 606 $aSocial movements 606 $aProtest movements 610 $aactivism, politicians, narrative, protest, rhetoric, social movements, change, progress, politics, political science, sit in, segregation, storytelling, persuasion, emotion, democracy, nonfiction, history, tax revolts, world trade center, alliance, disadvantaged groups, needs, action, status quo, communication, folklore, grassroots, strategy, deliberation, reason, rationality, victim, house, senate, congress, speech, oratory, fame, celebrity, mlk jr, martin luther king. 615 0$aStorytelling$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aCommunication$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitics and culture. 615 0$aCommunication in folklore. 615 0$aSocial movements. 615 0$aProtest movements. 676 $a808.5/43 700 $aPolletta$b Francesca$0628045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785048203321 996 $aIt was like a fever$91229835 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02465nam 2200577 450 001 9910797721403321 005 20230808212722.0 010 $a0-19-026503-5 010 $a0-19-984496-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000529654 035 $a(EBL)4310812 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001651512 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16426285 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001651512 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14974255 035 $a(PQKB)10185601 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4310812 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4310812 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11138643 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL875875 035 $a(OCoLC)935259015 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000529654 100 $a20160118h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aShrinking the earth $ethe rise and decline of American abundance /$fDonald Worster 210 1$aNew York, New York :$cOxford University Press,$d2016. 210 4$d©2016 215 $a1 online resource (289 p.) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a0-19-084985-1 311 $a0-19-984495-X 327 $aPrologue: Gatsby's green light -- Second earth.
