Opis

Newspapers were hugely influential in late eighteenth-century England, yet little is known about how they operated. Looking at London and its provinces, this study examines newspapers and their successful operation and influence upon politics, as well as their relationship with politicians, readers, and public opinion.

Recenzje

Hannah Barker's book Newspapers, Politics, and Public Opinion in Late Eighteenth-Century England is, among other things, a valuable contribution to the discussion of how England managed to avoid another revolution ... Historians of the newspaper press will also appreciate her analysis of the economics of the trade, which is further supported by several clear diagrammatical illustrations of the interrelationship of sales figures, advertising revenue and profit for different contemporary newspapers.
