in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Mondays, 6.00-7.30pm, fortnightly, Autumn Term 2002

This seminar series aims to explore the wide range of material which is
currently being used to recover experiences of reading in the nineteenth
century, from manuscript books and periodicals to representations of
readers
in popular texts. It will provide a forum in which scholars interested in
the practice and representation of reading in this period can meet and
discuss their varied methodological approaches.
