First published in 2007, this volume explores the importance of
correspondence and communication to cultural exchanges in early
modern Europe. Leading historians examine the correspondence of
scholars, scientists, spies, merchants, politicians, artists,
collectors, noblemen, artisans, and even illiterate peasants.
Geographically the volume ranges across the whole of Europe,
occasionally going beyond its confines to investigate exchanges
between Europe and Asia or the New World. Above all, it studies the
different networks of exchange in Europe and the various functions
and meanings that correspondence had for members of different
strata in European society during the early age of printing. This
entails looking at different material supports from manuscripts and
printed letters to newsletters and at different types of exchanges
from the familial, scientific and artistic to political and
professional correspondence. This is a ground-breaking reassessment
of the status of information in early modern Europe and a major
contribution to the field of information and communication.
