Product Description
Product Description
This volume offers a series of essays which explore the impact of print upon parliament and parliamentary affairs during the early modern period, with particular reference to the relations between parliament and the 'public'. The articles build upon historiographical interest in the 'print revolution' and the 'public sphere', as well as the working of parliament in the 'world beyond Westminster'. The specific topics covered include the exploitation of print by those who sought to petition parliament, and by those who sought to draw attention to issues of public concern such as financial corruption; the coverage of parliamentary proceedings in newspapers both national and local, and their benefit to lobbyists; developments in print media over the course of the early modern period and throughout Britain; and the motivation for, and development of, reporting of parliamentary speeches in print.
