Of Essays and Reading in Early Modern Britain (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print) (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print)

by S. Black

This study focuses on the co-evolution of the essay and the mode of literacy it enabled, and the interactive processes of reading, with a new approach to early modern textuality. It shows how the genre served to record, test and disseminate the skills required; and how the essay was adopted as a mechanism by various intellectual disciplines.
