The Emergence of Finnish Book and Reading Culture in the 1700s
57: Finnish Literature Society, 2011. 1st Edition. Soft Cover. This book is the first overview of Finnish literary culture and the significant change in reading culture in the 18th century to be published in English. The transmission of enlightenment literature and new genres of literature from other parts of Europe to Finland radically expanded the worldview of Finnish city dwellers. The work describes the book culture of the 18th century in the periphery of Europe and deepens knowledge about the power and prevalence of literature in European cities. Researchers from different fields examine the meaning, use and impact of books from a cultural-historical, ideological-historical and social-historical point of view.
