Consisting of twenty-eight chapters and numerous case studies the
volume examines the history of the British and Irish press from its
seventeenth-century beginnings up until the end of the eighteenth
century. Five core chapters regard the Business of the Press
(including advertising), Production and Distribution, Legal
Constraints and Opportunities, Readers and Readerships, and the
Emerging Identities and Communities of news writers and
journalists. Other contributions focus on particular national
realities such as those in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The
contributions examine features relating to the production,
transmission and reception of not just news publications but also
the more specialised press such as periodical essays, women's
periodicals, literary and review journalism, medical journals, and
the criminal and religious press. As much early modern news was a
transnational phenomenon the volume includes studies on European
and trans-Atlantic networks as well as the role of translation in
news transmission and output.
