A few articles I've read in print recently:
- Elspeth Jajdelska, "Pepys in the History of Reading." The Historical Journal 50:3 (September 2007), pp. 549-569. Provides a nice, synthesizing overview of book history research and the debate over historical reading practices. Jajdelska examines Pepys' reading practice through four lenses: intensive v. extensive reading, oral v. silent reading, public v. private reading, and utilitarian v. recreational reading. A fine piece, very nicely written.
