Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In these days of bookshops, bookstalls, and supermarket shelves carrying a surfeit of books, magazines and newspapers, it is difficult to imagine the relative famine of reading matter in the countryside a century ago. The work that the East Sussex Bookhawking Association did in the second half of the 19th century is an interesting example of local initiative in education, moral improvement and self-help. The organisers of the E.S.B.H.A. were paternalistic and possibly patronizing, but they did help to spread the word and the book in rural Sussex. The history of the Association is investigated using inter alia the reports and publications of the Church of England Bookhawking Union, local newspapers and intermittent reports of annual general meetings. There were at one time 60 or more Church of England bookhawking associations scattered throughout the country. | ||||
