6. ↑ "Historical representation and propaganda purpose are interlinked with Bürger. The criteria for assessing and classifying the reading books follow seamlessly the Christian nationalist ideology of the Wilhelmine epoch; the story of the reader appears as an apology. The work also provides an insight into that intact system of means of thinking, the numerous remains of which, through reading books, help to reproduce historically outdated collections of consciousness. ”( Reprints.
