Historians have traditionally attributed great influence to
newspapers in late eighteenth-century England, yet in spite of the
power they were supposed to wield, very little is known about the
newspaper press itself during this period. Newspapers, Politics,
and Public Opinion in Late Eighteenth-Century England examines the
ways in which both London and provincial newspapers operated, the
fashioning of their politics, and their relationships with
politicians, and, crucially, their readers. In particular, this
book is concerned with the ways in which newspapers both
represented and shaped public opinion. By concentrating on the late
1770s and early 1780s, and on events and debates surrounding the
movement for political reform, these areas are brought into sharper
focus; as are important and related issues such as the changing
nature of popular political debate, the role of `the people' in
politics, and the composition of the political nation.
