The Reading Public (1914)

By Violet Fane

Book Overview

The Reading Public is a book written by Jenkins and MacGregor in 1914. It is a comprehensive study of the reading habits of the public during the early 20th century. The book explores the various factors that influence people's reading choices, including social class, gender, education, and cultural background. It also examines the impact of new technologies, such as the printing press and the rise of mass media, on the dissemination of information and the formation of public opinion. The authors draw on a wide range of sources, including surveys, statistics, and personal anecdotes, to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the reading habits of different segments of society. The Reading Public is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of reading and the role of literature in shaping public discourse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
