Reading habits in Scotland circa 1750-1820

Contact: viv.dunstan@one-name.org

This study examines Scottish reading habits during this period from the perspective of readers, including how people fitted reading into their lives, what they chose to read and why, and how the picture changed over time. Records studied include contemporary accounts of readers, library catalogues and borrowing records, and evidence of book ownership.
