This work examines the physicality of reading.Scholarship in fields such as reader-responsecriticism and book history often neglect the body andthe physicality of the processes they study -examining reading as a disembodied act. However,reading relates reflexively to our texts, ourcultures, and our bodies. By examining theserelationships, I study how reading inhabits ourbodies both through how we read and through how weare read. Since bodies are specific and personal, andknowing that I cannot claim objectivity about theprocess, I include a personal narrative as well asimages of other readers.
