- Reading History represents the culmination of an extended programme of research funded by a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship. The book is 121,000 words in length, and was sole-authored by Mark Towsey. It draws on a large body of archival research, undertaken over a period of eleven years, in libraries and archives across North America and the British Isles. Primary sources consulted include several hundred manuscript commonplace books, letters, diaries and reading notebooks, as well as manuscript marginalia and annotations surviving in printed books from the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, very few of which had previously been consulted by historians.
