Description

Politics and the Rise of the Press compares the rise of the newspaper press in Britain and France, and assesses how it influenced political life and political culture.

From its social, economic and political sources, to its importance for the middling ranks in eighteenth-century British society, and its transformation after the French revolution.

This detailed, comparative account, which also contains considerable original research on the early Scottish press, will be of value to all students of French and British history of the period.
