Provincial Readers in Eighteenth-Century England
Fergus, Jan (Professor of English, Lehigh University)
It is well known that the English novel took shape in the eighteenth century, but no one knows who read novels like Humphry Clinker and Clarissa when they were first published. Drawing on booksellers' archives and parish records, this book shows who in the Midlands actually bought novels, plays, and fiction magazines in the eighteenth century.
