Minor Knowledge and Microhistory (eBook, PDF)

Manuscript Culture in the Nineteenth Century

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book studies everyday writing practices among ordinary people in a poor rural society in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Using the abundance of handwritten material produced, disseminated and consumed some centuries after the advent of print as its research material, the book's focus is on its day-to-day usage and on "minor knowledge," i.e., text matter originating and rooted primarily in the everyday life of the peasantry.
