1. 1. Reading

   

   This book traces how reading has been practiced and imagined across history, showing how changing technologies (scrolls, codices, print), social settings (monastic, domestic, public), languages and modes (reading aloud, subvocalizing, or silently) have shaped what readers could do and understand; using vivid case studies—marginalia, bilingual reading, rituals of attention and the development of private reading—it argues that reading is an active, interpretive skill that constructs knowledge, identity and community rather than a passive transmission of information.
