RESEARCH

Claire Madl’s research focuses on the history of the book and on the practices of the written word in the Habsburg monarchy in the 18th and 19th century, a pivotal moment when historiography observed a paradigm shift between the Enlightenment and the national affirmation.
 
Her work on the history of reading seeks primarily to reconstruct reading as a social practice which enables to express membership of social groups, to impose an integration activity on a population but also to assert an autonomous way of thinking and a distance from shared or dominant corpuses and practices. By combining the archival sources and the sources from castle libraries, she has worked on the collections of the nobility and on readers, whom she has endeavoured not to reduce to their social affiliation.
 
Her work on the international book market enables her to place Bohemia on the map of European bookshop networks and to examine the place of political and commercial centres such as Vienna and Leipzig. Her work on local publishing in Bohemia and its clientele allows her to examine the crucial period between 1780 and 1830 which marked the transition from the book market dominated by imports to establishment of a more autonomous publishing market.
 
Lately, she has been examining the introduction of compulsory school attendance in the Habsburg monarchy (1774, 1777) as the founding moment in the affirmation of reading as a “total social fact” and the spread of “reading for all”. This significant reform of the Enlightenment was exceptional in its extent and it was supported by a highly ambitious policy of producing and ditributing official school textbooks.
