In early modern Britain, news was transformed from a currency of
conversation and social exchange to a potent and lucrative
industry, capable of manufacturing public opinion and transforming
perceptions of literature, medicine and history. This collection of
essays explores the impact of printed periodicals on British
culture and society between 1590 and 1800.
Using a variety of methods and disciplines, the contributors
present a picture of the emerging periodical press, including
discussions of the origins of printed newspapers; the role of
manuscript transmission of news; the relationship between newsbooks
and the theatre; the use of newspapers by political radicals during
the civil wars of the mid-17th century; the role of women in the
early periodical press; the emergence of a public sphere of popular
political opinion; the use of advertising as a form of
communication; the distribution and readership of newspapers in the
provinces; ideas of nationhood in the Scottish periodical press;
and the role of medical and philosophical journals in promoting
medical reform.
This study is a special issue of the journal "Prose Studies."
