How did print bring reading public and hearing public closer |
|
Answer» : Print Culture and the Modern WorldBook: India and the Contemporary World IIAnswer: ACCESS to books created a new culture of reading. Now books could reach out to wider sections of people. If earlier there was a hearing public, now a reading public came into being. But, books could be read only by the literate, and the rates of literacy in most European countries were very low till the twentieth century. So printers began publishing popular BALLADS and folk tales, and such books would be profusely illustrated with pictures. These were then sung and recited at GATHERINGS in villages and in taverns in towns.Oral culture thus entered print and printed material was orally transmitted. This led to the intermingling of hearing and reading public.Follow: @periodify on InstagramComment: Please MARK as the brainliest. |
