Participatory reading in late-medieval England

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces affinities across the digital-medieval divide to explore how reading functioned as a nexus for concerns about literacy, audiencesà â â agency, literary culture and media formats. Interactive reading offered writers ways to make readers work to their benefit, even as these practices enabled audiences to make reading work for themselves. -- .
