Su questo libro

L'autore:

Joad Raymond is a Senior Lecturer in Literature at the University of East Anglia, and the author of Pamphlets and Pamphleteering in Early Modern Britain (2003) and The Invention of the Newspaper: English Newsbooks, 1641-1649 (1996).

Product Description:

Examining new research, this excellent volume presents a series of case-studies exemplifying the new newspaper history. Using cross-cultural comparisons, Joad Raymond establishes an agenda for answering crucial questions central to the future histories of the political and literary culture of early-modern Britain: What is the relationship between the circulation of news in Britain and communication networks elsewhere in Europe? Was the British development of the media unique? What are the specific rhetorical properties of news-communication in seventeeth-century Britain? What was the relationship between commerce and politics? And how do local exchanges of news relate to national practices and institutions? Previously published as a special issue of the journal "Media History", this book is compulsory reading for researchers and students of European history and media studies alike.
