The Writing Culture of Ordinary People in Europe, c.1860–1920
Lyons, Martyn (University of New South Wales, Sydney)
As mass emigration and war increased the distances between ordinary people, many, previously barely literate and unaccustomed to writing, began to communicate on paper. This fascinating book explores the multiple connections between orality and literacy and the insights these can provide into the history of individual experience in modern Europe.
