This is a major reassessment of the communications revolution of
the seventeenth century. Using a wealth of archival evidence and
the considerable output of the press, Jason Peacey demonstrates how
new media - from ballads to pamphlets and newspapers - transformed
the English public's ability to understand and participate in
national political life. He analyses how contemporaries responded
to political events as consumers of print; explores what they were
able to learn about national politics; and examines how they
developed the ability to appropriate a variety of print genres in
order to participate in novel ways. Amid structural change and
conjunctural upheaval, he argues that there occurred a dramatic
re-shaping of the political nation, as citizens from all walks of
life developed new habits and practices for engaging in daily
political life, and for protecting and advancing their interests.
This ultimately involved experience-led attempts to rethink the
nature of representation and accountability.
