Reading in the 1700s involved accessing books, pamphlets, and newspapers, which were often printed by hand and relatively scarce. Literacy rates were lower than today, but the Enlightenment sparked a rise in literacy and interest in literature and philosophy. People often gathered in salons or coffeehouses to discuss ideas, and many would read aloud to share knowledge. Access to printed material varied widely depending on social class and location.
