Opis

This collection aims to correct the imbalance of London-dominated periodicals by investigating the development, maturation and persistence of the provincial political press in the British Isles in the modern era. Chapters covering aspects of the Irish, Yorkshire, Welsh, Scottish and Midlands political press are included to redress this imbalance.
