The first ethnographic study of fiction reading by an anthropologist, it explores a unique literary society celebrating largely forgotten twentieth-century writer Henry Williamson (1895-1977). 520 $a Adam Reed explores topics including the extent to which readers' beliefs and practices affect their attitudes toward the material culture of reading and the ways in which books are imbued with greater significance than other objects found in readers' homes. Reed highlights the connections between the pleasures of the individual experience of reading and the development of a sense of responsibility to a reading community. Expanding the disciplinary boundaries of book history and reception studies, Literature and Agency in English Fiction Reading introduces an innovative new methodology for studying reading communities."--pub. desc. 610 20 $a Henry Williamson Society. 600 10 $a Williamson, Henry, $d 1895-1977 $x Societies, etc. 650 0 $a Books and reading $x Social aspects $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Literature and anthropology $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 610 26 $a Henry Williamson Society. 600 16 $a Williamson, Henry, $d 1895-1977 $x Associations. 650 6 $a Livres et lecture $x Aspect social $z Grande-Bretagne. 651 6 $a Grande-Bretagne $x Vie intellectuelle $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature et anthropologie $z Grande-Bretagne $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 830 0 $a Studies in book and print culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019025541.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825041829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15913CFCAED411E1BB28B5CE6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
