A drámaolvasás nyomában a XVIII. század végén, a XIX. század első felében
Readers’ Drama Literature at the End of 18th and the Beginning of the 19th Century

Summary/Abstract: The presentation focuses on circulating drama publications of the era, considering library book catalogues and loan registers from schools, and booksellers’ available lists as primary sources. In the wide sense of literature history approach the personal and institutional features of literacy interconnect, thus the references of school, theatre, library, readers’ circle, bookseller, book collector and lender run into another throughout the analysis. In our inquiry we pay attention not so much on the circumstances of the reading practice, which can be read about in detail in diaries, correspondence, memoirs, but we endeavour to grasp the drama reading culture of group and community through the drama offer of reading circles and information recorded in boarding school libraries.
