Readers and Reading Culture in the High Roman Empire: A Study of Elite Communities - Classical Culture and Society
Johnson, William A., Jr. (Professor of Classical Studies, Professor of Classical Studies, Duke University)
In Readers and Reading Culture in the High Roman Empire, William Johnson examines the system and culture of reading among the elite in second-century Rome, with a focus on specific communities witnessed in surviving literary sources and in the papyri. The result is a rich cultural history of individual reading communities that differentiate themselves in interesting ways even while in aggregate showing a coherent reading culture with fascinating similaritiesand contrasts to the reading culture of today.
