Opis

In early modern Britain, news was transformed from a currency of conversation and social exchange to a potent and lucrative industry, capable of manufacturing public opinion and transforming perceptions of literature, medicine and history. This collection of essays explores the impact of printed periodicals on British culture and society between 1590 and 1800.
