摘要

爱书人经常想象一个前数字时代的无分心阅读的黄金时代，但最近的阅读史研究驳斥了这种过去田园诗般的存在。这篇短文介绍了安妮·李斯特(1791-1840)的日记，作为一个有用的案例来研究历史读者如何管理和担心他们的智力时间，以及这个过程是如何受到竞争社会压力的影响的。这篇文章讨论了日记中的一些情节，这些情节表明，在这一时期，阅读受到基于阶级的时间经济预期的影响，李斯特精心管理他们的阅读时间，以塑造一个现代绅士的形象，作为他们继承叔叔遗产的努力的一部分。

"To do a little and well": Anne Lister's Reading Routine

abstract:Bibliophiles often imagine a pre-digital golden age of undistracted reading, but recent scholarship in the history of reading has refuted the existence of this past idyll. This short article introduces the diaries of Anne Lister (1791–1840) as a useful case study for considering how historical readers managed and worried about their intellectual time, and how this process was influenced by competing social pressures. The article discusses some episodes from the diaries that suggest that reading was subject to class-based expectations about the economy of time during this period, and that Lister carefully managed their reading time to develop a modern gentlemanly persona as part of their endeavor to inherit their uncle's estate.

It seeks to promote dialog and discussion among scholars engaged in theoretical and practical analyses in several related fields: reader-response criticism and pedagogy, reception study, history of reading and the book, audience and communication studies, institutional studies and histories, as well as interpretive strategies related to feminism, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and postcolonial studies, focusing mainly but not exclusively on the literature, culture, and media of England and the United States.
