  Recent advances in cognitive psychology, socio-linguistics, and
socio-anthropology are revolutionizing our understanding of literacy. However, this research has made only minimal
inroads among classicists. In turn, historians of literacy continue to rely on outdated work by classicists (mostly from
the 1960's and 1970's) and have little access to the current reexamination of the ancient evidence. This timely volume
seeks to formulate interesting new ways of conceiving the entire concept of literacy in the ancient world, as
text-oriented events embedded in particular socio-cultural contexts.
  
  In the volume, selected leading
scholars rethink from the ground up how students of classical antiquity might best approach the question of literacy in
the past, and how that investigation might materially intersect with changes in the way that literacy is now viewed in
other disciplines. The result will give readers new ways of thinking about specific elements of "literacy" in antiquity,
such as the nature of personal libraries, or what it means to be a bookseller in antiquity; new constructionist
questions, such as what constitutes reading communities and how they fashion themselves; new takes on the public sphere,
such as how literacy intersects with commercialism, or with the use of public spaces, or with the construction of civic
identity; new essentialist questions, such as what do "book" and "reading" signify in antiquity, why literate cultures
develop, or why literate cultures matter.
  
  Containing new work from today's
outstanding scholars of literacy in antiquity, Ancient Literacies will be an indispensable collection for all students
and scholars of reading cultures in the classical world.
