Best known now for his Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was also an astute and entertaining critic. In this collection of essays first published in 1907, he takes the reader on a tour of his own bookshelf and explores an eccentric range of topics, from the unreasonable opinions of Samuel Johnson to the deficiencies of Ivanhoe and the fascination of Treasure Island. While the importance of deep, intellectual reading is emphasised throughout, across an impressive scope of scientific and literary subjects, Conan Doyle is also firm in his belief that popular fiction is vital and that creativity should not be restricted by strict fact. Including sixteen illustrations, twelve essays and a full index, this book presents reading as a form of unlimited escape, a stance still at the heart of literary debate today, and will interest students of literary theory and the general reader alike.

Les techniques de fabrication et de diffusion de l’écrit, l’expansion progressive de l’activité de lecture caractérisent les siècles passés. Le XXe siècle a connu le foisonnement et la diversité des écrits. Le livre, longtemps support unique de la lecture, s’est vu concurrencé par d’autres formes d’imprimés (revues, magazines, journaux). Aujourd’hui, en ce début du XXIe siècle, la lecture sur écran connaît un essor remarquable, touchant des publics variés et portant sur des contenus de tous genres. Il reste à comprendre en quoi ce nouveau support va modifier la pratique de la lecture. Elle s’est diversifiée et fragmentée, sa signification n’est pas la même pour tous les lecteurs. Elle varie notamment selon leur genre, leur milieu social et leur niveau d’instruction. Longtemps contrôlée par l’Église et l’État, est-elle devenue une activité libérée de toute contrainte malgré les lois du marché ? Les goûts, les manières de lire, les modes d’interprétation des textes n’obéissent-ils pas, de façon subtile, à de nouvelles formes d’imposition ?
