Detailed Solution

The compulsion of primary education and lending libraries in England became instruments for educating white-collar workers, artisans and lower-middle-class people, are the reasons that created a large number of new readers.
Children became an important category of readers after primary education became compulsory in the late nineteenth century. School textbook production has become critical for the publishing industry. Women rose to prominence as readers and writers. Penny magazines, as well as manuals teaching proper behaviour and housekeeping, were aimed specifically at women. When novels were first written in the 1800s, women were thought to be important readers. Lending libraries have been around since the seventeenth century. Lending libraries in England became instruments for educating white-collar workers, artisans, and lower-middle-class people in the nineteenth century. Self-educated working-class people sometimes wrote for themselves. Workers had some time for self-improvement and self-expression after the working day was gradually reduced beginning in the mid-nineteenth century. They wrote a lot of political pamphlets and autobiographies.
