Noah Millstone (University of Bristol)

Manuscript Circulation and the Invention of Politics in Early Stuart England

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Pre-Civil War English political culture was shaped by an extensive pamphlet literature, which has remained unknown due to its handwritten form. Drawing from book history and the history of political thought, Noah Millstone reconstructs the world of manuscript pamphleteering to explain how contemporaries came to see their world as political.
