By the end of the seventeenth century the most effective means of
persuasion and communication was the pamphlet, which created
influential moral and political communities of readers, and thus
formed a 'public sphere' of popular, political opinion. This book
is a unique history of the printed pamphlet in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century Britain and traces its rise as an imaginative
and often eloquent literary form. Using a long-term perspective and
a broad range of historical, bibliographical and textual evidence,
the book sketches a complex definition of a 'pamphlet', showing the
coherence of the literary form, the diversity of genres and
imaginative devices employed by pamphleteers; and it explores
readers' relationship with pamphlets and how both influenced
politics. Individual chapters examine topics such as Elizabethan
religious controversy, the book trade, the distribution of books
and pamphlets, pamphleteering in the English Civil War, women and
gender, and print in the Restoration.
