New approaches to the history of print have allowed historians of
early modern Europe to re-evaluate major shifts in religious,
intellectual, cultural and political life across Europe. Drawing on
precise and detailed study of the contexts of different types of
print, including books, pamphlets, newspapers and flysheets,
combined with quantitative analysis and a study of texts as
material objects, Thomas Munck offers a transformed picture of
early modern political culture, and through analysis of new styles
and genres of writing he offers a fresh perspective on the intended
readership. Conflict and Enlightenment uses a resolutely
comparative approach to re-examine what was being disseminated in
print, and how. By mapping the transmission of texts across
cultural and linguistic divides, Munck reveals how far new forms of
political discourse varied depending on the particular perspectives
of authors, readers and regulatory authorities, as well as the
cultural adaptability of translators and sponsors.
