Reading Revolution
The Politics of Reading in Early Modern Europe
by Kevin Sharpe
"This book - the first comprehensive study of reading and politics in early modern England - examines how texts of that period were produced and disseminated and how readers interpreted and were influenced by them. Based on the voluminous reading notes of one gentleman, Sir William Drake, the book shows how readers formed radical social values and political ideas as they experienced civil war, revolution, republic and restoration."--BOOK JACKET.
