18、nd seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.Using Charles Dickenss nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be usef

19、ul to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickenss own liter

20、ary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family rela

21、tionship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary（孤独的）reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more seriou

22、s purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.Reading aloud in the nineteenth

23、century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman an

24、d Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.Since the literacy level of this sec

25、tion of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1650 by the Education Act a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickenss readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Sever

26、al biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus literacy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.A working

27、 class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were i

28、deal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickenss popularity among readers from

29、 the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously,” to use Walter Benjamins term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lac

However, while the twentieth and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloudsuch as “listeners attentive to a reading vo
