Jack Censer's achievement in "The French Press in the Age of
Enlightenment" is to marshal a vast literature in order to provide
a coherent and original interpretation of the role of the French
press in the dissemination of social and political ideas in the
pre-revolution years. With 1,000 titles and thousands of
journalists, the periodical constituted an important phenomenon in
French intellectual life; yet scholars in the absence of a
synthetic treatment have failed to integrate it into their
accounts. This study allows construction of a far richer picture of
the politics and intellectual life of the period, and counters the
standard view of the Old Regime political system as already fatally
undermined well before the revolution.
The first half of the book considers the message in the political
press, literary and philosophical journals, and local advertisers,
while the remainder analyzes readers and reading, the role of
government, and the personnel of the press. These subjects
contribute to a number of different historical debates, including
current discussions of the identity and the role of readers. This
book gives a strikingly new historical analysis of the period
immediately before 1789.
