Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book encapsulates the remarkable history of the newspaper press in the 17th century. Before the newspaper as we know it, news was communicated in handwritten form and printed pamphlets, revealing the beginnings of journalism in its infancy. The text details how Nathaniel Butter played a pioneering role in the transition to printed newspapers, with his Weekly News becoming the first of its kind in 1622. The book explores the growth and growing popularity of newspapers during this period, despite facing fierce criticism from playwrights like Ben Jonson, who saw them as a threat to the theater. Furthermore, the work sheds light on the absence of parliamentary reporting in newspapers and the curious blend of superstition and factual reporting that characterized the era. The vivid depiction of the London Gazette's coverage of the Great Fire of London provides a fascinating historical account. The controversies surrounding Sir Roger l'Estrange's role as licenser of the press are also examined, highlighting the challenges faced by early journalists in a time of political and social upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
