At the center of this book stands the story of a great but
forgotten newspaper: the Gazette de Leyde, edited by Jean Luzac
from 1772 to 1798. A French-language biweekly newspaper published
in the Dutch city of Leiden from 1677 to 1811, the Gazette de Leyde
was regarded as the international newspaper of record, occupying
the cultural niche filled today by the New York Times and Le
Monde.Jeremy D. Popkin reconstructs the Gazette's history,
providing a comprehensive picture of the environment that produced
it, how it gathered and printed its reports, its relationship with
its readers, and the way it depicted the great events of three
critical decades. In rich detail he shows that absolutist regimes
often cooperated with the Gazette's editors, providing information
and condoning its publication in open violation of their own
censorship regimes.He also examines the Dutch context which
fostered both the freedom that made the paper's publication
possible and the technology and business skills that allowed for
its rapid publication and successful marketing. In addition, he
draws on a wide reading of the press of the period to compare the
Gazette with other major newspapers. He concludes with a treatment
of the paper's fortunes during the era of the French Revolution.
