9. The Reading Fever, 1750-1830 ("Everyone in Paris is reading . . . People read while riding in carriages or taking walks . . . Women, children, journeymen and apprentices read in shops. On Sundays people read while seated at the front of their houses; lackeys read on their back seats, coachmen up on their boxes, and soldiers keeping guard." 10. The Age of the Mass Reading Public (“Between the 1830s and the First World War . . . a mass reading public came into existence.”) 11. New Readers and Reading Cultures ("The half century between the 1880s and the 1930s was the golden age of the book in the West.") |  |
