Writing the reader. Configurations of a cultural practice in the English novel

Birke, Dorothee - Nama Orang

This study investigates how novels themselves participate in this development by featuring reading as a multidimensional cultural practice. English novels about obsessive reading, written in times of medial transition, serve as test cases for a model that brings together analyses of form and content.
