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, audiencesâ 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. -- .
