Abstract
Met lit. opg. - Met reg. Analysis of the new network of technologies, skills, and resources that reshaped `writing' during the media revolution of eighteenth-century Britain. The author finds fresh significance in the review periodical; the rise of desciplines and specialties; and the modern postal service, reading groups, boarding schools, touristic travel to centers like London and Bath.
