Brill, 2016. Hard Cover. As New/As New. News Networks in Early Modern Europe. Library of the Written Word, Volume: 47. Editors: Joad Raymond and Noah Moxham. 2016. Still shrink-wrapped. Published at c£205. News Networks in Early Modern Europe attempts to redraw the history of European news communication in the 16th and 17th centuries. News is defined partly by movement and circulation, yet histories of news have been written overwhelmingly within national contexts. This volume of essays explores the notion that early modern European news, in all its manifestations - manuscript, print, and oral - is fundamentally transnational. These 37 essays investigate the language, infrastructure, and circulation of news across Europe. They range from the 15th to the 18th centuries, and from the Ottoman Empire to the Americas, focussing on the mechanisms of transmission, the organisation of networks, the spread of forms and modes of news communication, and the effects of their translation into new locales and languages.

Brill, 2021. Hard Cover. As New/As New. News in Times of Conflict. The Development of the German Newspaper, 1605-1650. Library of the Written Word, Volume: 90. By Jan Hillgärtner. 2021. Still shrink-wrapped. Published at c£100. News in Times of Conflict traces the development and spread of the newspaper and the development of the printing industry in Germany in the first half of the seventeenth century. Based on an inspection of all printed newspapers of this period, the book offers an overview of regional and thematic reporting and the development of journalistic styles and ethics. The book offers an examination of the coverage of two major events: the death of the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus, and the execution of King Charles I of England. These case studies provide the opportunity for a comparison with the newspaper markets in France, England and the Low Countries, and with the provision of news through manuscript newsletters.
