A system of parliamentary grants to \nestablish public libraries in country towns and villages nurtured a \nlively reading culture. A condition was that the library should be \nopen free of charge to the general public. This became one more \nreading space, and others included book societies…
Reading Authors of the Enlightenment at the Cape of Good Hope from the late 1780s to the mid 1830s
With few exceptions, the study of intellectual traditions in South Africa generally ignores their material traces. The embodiment of ideas and languages in books, pamphlets, newspapers and other media does, however, matter. An analysis of the inventories and catalogues of private book collections, subscription libraries and book sales, of minutes of a reading society, and of newspaper articles and advertisements reveals that Enlightenment authors…

In June 1800, Lady Anne Barnard observed that J. C. Ritter’s Almanac only sold one copy in each of the Cape’s four districts, and that the printer made ‘a fortune of two shillings by it’. 1 Explaining that all the inhabitants read or copied out of that one, she pinpointed well-established practices of copying and circulating reading matter at the Cape of Good Hope at the turn of the eighteenth century. Although almanacs had been printed and sold …

The scheme presented the chance to demonstrate the democratic values of books and libraries, and to improve the social standing of the library profession. This article argues that personal squabbles, regional tensions, racialism and the regulation of re…

To make the people of South Africa proud of their membership of the great British Empire
This article examines the regulation of reading by two home reading unions operating in South Africa from 1900 to 1914. It challenges the view that reading is primarily regulated to sustain and support a particular economic order. The emphasis falls on cultural, gender, and political factors that mediated imperial and colonial views of guided reading during a fluid period in South African history
