Restraint of the Press in England, 1660-1715
0 - Default Title
Description
This book is a discussion of the fascinating interplay between communication, politics and religion in early modern England. It problematizes the notion of the birth of modernity, a moment claimed by many prominent scholars to have taken place at the transition from the seventeenth into the eighteenth century. What emerges from this study is not a steady move to liberalism, democracy or modernity. Rather, after 1695, England was a religious and politically fractured society, in which ideas of the sovereignty of the people and the power of public opinion were being established and argued about.
