Samenvatting
The period 1678-1730 was a decisive one not only in Western political history but also in the history of the British press. Changing conditions for political expression and an expanding book trade enabled unprecendented opportunities for political activity. The author argues that women already at work in the London book trade were among the first to seize those new opportunities for public political expression. She not only examines women writers, but also printers, booksellers, ballad-singers, hawkers, and other producers and distributors of printed texts. |
