Introduction: Consuming Texts -- Reading Has a History -- Reworking the Word: Readers and Their Manuscript Books, 1695-1730 -- Diversities of Reading Practice, 1695-1770 -- The Circulating Library, Book Club and Subscription Library- Readers and Reading Communities, 1770-1800 -- Communal Practice and Individual Response- Reading in the Late-Romantic Period -- Towards a Mass Audience, Or, John Clare and the Problem of the Unknown Public -- Conclusion: Texts Consumed.

'Reading has a history. But how can we recover it?' Consuming Texts explores the history of reading in the British Isles during a period inwhich the printed word became all pervasive. Beginningwith an overview of recent work on this exciting topic, it goes on to privide a seriesof new case studies of individual readers and the communities to whichthey belonged. These include the wealthy Gertrude Savile, who combinedreading sermons with the perusal of the new plays and 'amatory fiction' ofthe 1720s; and John Clare, whose reading of cheap books helped himto become an author one hundred years later. It examines a range of previously neglected sources, such as annotated books and representationsof reading in commercial libraries in order to argue that a variety ofnew reading communitiesemerged during this period.
