| Abstract: | The West treasures few moments in its history the way it treasures the story of the democratization of print. Eighteenth century] men of letters commonly linked the spread of letters to the growth of knowledge and to] the democratization of power … in their eyes, the citizen s reading took on a mythic significance it has never lost, even to the present.
