- Abstract
- (en) Inspired by Leah Price's recent plea on behalf of the study of ‘nonreading’ and literary logistics, this essay reconstructs a slice of the history of reading locations by analysing the decoration advice, the changing symbolic associations and the modes of print circulation connected with private libraries and toilets in the writings of two modern authors: Edith Wharton and Henry Miller.
