Newspapers, Politics and English Society, 1695-1855 explores the development of newspapers between the lapsing of the Printing Act in the late seventeenth century, and the removal of newspaper taxation in the mid-nineteenth century. Newspapers played a decisive role; increasingly being used to promote existing governmental policy as well as helping to articulate popular opinion; and so not only altered the manner in which politics was conducted at the centre, but also the way in which it operated at every level of English life. This new study provides a unique insight into the political and cultural life of eighteenth and nineteenth-century England and will also be of interest to students examining literature, print culture and the history of media and communications.Product Identifiers
