Credibility in Elizabethan and Early Stuart Military News

Description

Elizabethan and early Stuart England saw the prevailing medium for transmitting military news shift from public ritual, through private letters, to public newspapers. This study is based on an examination of hundreds of manuscript news letters, printed pamphlets and corantos, and news diaries which are in holdings in the US and the UK.

'Well supported by a wide range of manuscript and printed primary sources, Randall's argument will be very useful to scholars of print culture, the news, political culture, rhetoric, and military history.' H-Albion
