This edited collection focusses on the writing of ordinary, semi-literate people in history, emphasising the agency and voices of the subordinate classes and contesting conventional histories that treat them as passive or silent. It analyses ˜ordinary writings™ across a range of geographical areas, historical periods and scholarly disciplines. -- .
