Print Letters in Seventeenth-Century England: Politics, Religion, and News Culture.

Abstract

In Print Letters in Seventeenth-Century England, Gary Schneider examines the intersection of epistolarity, ideology, propaganda, and news culture. The chronological focus is the 1640s and 1650s, which saw a rise in the numbers of printed letters and their regular deployment in political and religious contestations, though Schneider gives due attention to the earlier and later parts of the century as well.
