Cultures of Letters: Scenes of Reading and Writing in Nineteenth-Century America New edition
Richard H. Brodhead
Using a variety of historical sources, Brodhead reconstructs the institutionalized literary worlds that coexisted in nineteenth-century America: the domestic culture of letters; mass-produced cheap reading; the culture of post-emancipation black education. He describes how these socially structured worlds shaped literary practice for writers.
