Bok av Dagmar Freist
Using the material of court records, literary sources and the reports of everyday talk, this work shows how political opinion was formed. It covers the politics of censorship and the role of the London Book trade in manufacturing and spreading opinion, arguing that the 1640s laid the foundations of the political awareness of the people.
