In the late seventeenth century the role of printed propaganda in
manipulating public consciousness became increasingly explicit, and
governments developed systematic controls over the printed word.
This book considers the purposes, mechanisms, content, and audience
of royal printed propaganda in early modern France. The author
first sketches the impact of the invention of printing and
characterizes propaganda generally during the reign of Louis XIV.
In succeeding chapters he discusses the theory and practice of
censorship and the government's relationships with the recently
established French periodical press, presenting a balanced portrait
of the crown's objectives and mixed success in influencing the
sources of opinion. The varieties of government-inspired pamphlet
propaganda are carefully and extensively analyzed, and signed royal
propaganda receives special attention. Originally published in
1977. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
