- Abstract
The article discusses literacy and the reading habits of men and women living in Baden, Germany at the turn of the 19th century. The cultural consequences of literacy and the ability to write in rural area are examined, with particular attention to such print media as books and newspapers of the time up until 1914. Source materials consulted to gauge rural literacy levels included church and locality visitation protocols, memoirs, library, and statistical records, as well as local school teaching materials. Rural and urban literacy rates are compared.
