Readers' Liberation by Jonathan Rose
Readers' Liberation addresses question of what we should be reading to obtain information, examining how past readers encountered the same problems that today's readers face, and how they dealt with them.
Readers' Liberation would make an excellent text for most courses in English, communication, history, and educationIt is also highly recommended as a public read or for book clubs. * Diane Martinez, Techincal Communication *
I will be recommending it, not only to the students and colleagues who will learn much from its scholarship, but also to those most cynical about the value of the humanities in the modern world. * Katie Halsey, Library & Information History *
