| Summary |
In examining facets of the lives of select books from the 1780s to the 1930s that Germans actually read, these essays present a complex and nuanced picture of writing, publishing and reading in the shadow of nation building and class formation, and suggest how the analysis of texts and the study of books can inform one another. |
