Description:... What was the relationship between power and the public sphere in early modern society? How did the printed media inform this relationship? Contributors to this volume address those questions by examining the interaction of print and power in France and England during the 'hand-press period'. The central themes covered in this volume include reading and control; propaganda and its (re-)uses; the Academy; and clientism and faction.
