Recenzje

Richards sees the need to develop a new history of reading altogether, one that will revolutionise how we teach and think about Renaissance literature and its relevance to the present day. The central message that Voices and Books successfully communicates is that the emerging print culture of the English Renaissance did not silence readers but in fact facilitated oral reading.
