Much has been written about how Selma Lagerlöf's work was received by reviewers, researchers, colleagues, the popular press, friends, and family. But how, where, and why ordinary people read and used her texts over the years is virtually unknown. This essay is about these people, or rather about the appearances they make in the many thousands of extant letters to Lagerlöf that are held by the National Library of Sweden. The collection of letters will be described, and the theoretical and methodological issues to be faced when dealing with this kind of material will be discussed. Given the lack of sources useful for understanding the reader in history, the letters to Lagerlöf present an extraordinary opportunity to answer a number of questions about reading in the past.
