Figures de lecteurs, poses de lecture dans la littérature du XIXe siècle
Le Temps des médias n°3, automne 2004, p. 26-38.Novelists of the past provide a range of descriptions of the attitudes and habits of readers of the press. They have much to tell us about the status of the newspaper in bourgeois society. Cases in point include Stendhal on the readership of political papers; Flaubert on both the self-interested motives of readers of the provincial pres and on the different attitudes of men and women readers — a point also taken up by Balzac — and Jules Verne on how the media of his time operated. Nearly all of them considered that the newspaper had become an everyday habit and a form of entertainment as well as of news and comment.
