Shapiro's assembly of sources frequently surprise. To anyone working on a related topic, Shapiro's book will be required reading for this reason alone.\" -- Noah Millstone * \u003ci\u003eRenaissance Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"For scholars of politics or media studies in search of a historical overview for their ideas, this volume will provide a wealth of references to a wide range of source material . . . Shapiro has provided a helpful and well-organized overview that will appeal to those scholars seeking to understand the extremely complex and sophisticated channels of political communication in this turbulent period of English history.\" -- Thomas Munck * \u003ci\u003eJournal of Interdisciplinary History\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Barbara J. Shapiro's \u003ci\u003ePolitical Communication and Political Culture in England, 1558-1688\u003c\/i\u003e represents an ambitious synthesis, the work of a senior scholar bringing together diverse strands of scholarship and primary source research. While not a research monograph in the traditional sense, the book succeeds in introducing a broad range of concerns associated with the study of the media in early modern England . . . This is an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate students new to the field of early modern British history and for younger scholars looking for a broad overview of the various modes of political communication at work in early modern English political life, whether, print, script, ritual, performance, or the spoken word.\" -- D. Alan Orr * \u003ci\u003eJournal of British Studies (pre-1800)\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"There is no doubt that Barbara Shapiro's latest book is a major and original contribution to existing scholarship, concerning the influence of aesthetic genres, events, and artifacts over the development of early modern English political culture. As I have come to expect from this author, the depth and breadth of research are outstanding. Shapiro provides a beautifully written, much-needed overview of the historiography of the period, from the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The importance of the book lies not only in the expert handling and synthesis of complex and eclectic material, but also in providing a compelling analysis of a compendious body of work.\" -- Paul Raffield * University of Warwick *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a splendid and important book in every way. The 'political culture' of early-modern England is often discussed but rarely analyzed—and never with the comprehensiveness and clarity of Barbara Shapiro's \u003ci\u003ePolitical Communication and Political Culture in England, 1558–1688\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on her vast and detailed knowledge of the period, its politics, its thought, and its people, Shapiro has provided a rich, subtle, and very readable account of the multiple sources of political knowledge and understanding. Like all her previous works, Shapiro's book is a breathtaking intellectual treat: it precisely the book we have wanted and needed for a long, long time.\" -- Gordon Schochet * Rutgers University *","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405608231255,"sku":"9780804783620","price":59.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804783620.jpg?v=1730492979","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/political-communication-and-political-culture-in-england-15581688-9780804783620","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
