More about the book
Focusing on the unique experiences of solitary readers within a literary society, this anthropological study explores the significance of reading Henry Williamson's works.

By blending anthropology with literary criticism, the book challenges traditional boundaries and encourages a deeper understanding of the interplay between literature and culture. It advocates for ethnographic approaches to enrich discussions in literary studies and the sociology of literature.
