In this 2004 book, William St Clair investigates how reading shaped the national culture over four centuries of printing and publishing, through a quantitative study of the books that were actually read. Using the Romantic period as a starting point, he reaches startling conclusions about the forces that determined how print carried ideas into wider society.
