Abstract

This essay looks at how 'good reading' was defined, discussed, encouraged and modelled in the Weekly, and at how this objective related to the magazine's moral, political and social investments from the 1930s to the 1960s, a period in which it remains fairly constantly on the Weekly's agenda.
