More about the book

The practice of reading in nineteenth-century America is explored as a means of experiencing communion, where readers envision a connection with the narrative and its creators. This interaction fosters a therapeutic sense of unity, allowing readers to feel intertwined with authors, fellow readers, and the physical book. The book delves into how these fantasies shaped the reading experience and contributed to a deeper emotional engagement with literature.
