English Press in the Eighteenth Century (Routledge Revivals)

Informationen zum Autor Jeremy Black Klappentext First published in 1987, this is a comprehensive analysis of the rise of the British Press in the eighteenth century, as a component of the understanding of eighteenth century political and social history.
