"On page 203, "In other words, literacy rates in the late 18th century France were much higher than in the late 20th century United States. It was only in the pools of unskilled, day-wage labor (...) that illiteracy predominated. By contrast, domestic servants, who also came from the countryside, were virtually all literate, able to read their contracts of employment." So, this surprised me. Literacy to Revolution? We'll see." — Oct 27, 2026 06:14AM
