Eighteenth-century Periodicals As Agents of Change: Perspectives on Northern Enlightenment
Ellen Krefting, Aina Nøding, Mona Ringvej (eds.)
"Periodicals were an essential medium during eighteenth-century Enlightenment. The era's growing number of newspapers and journals made possible a fast and vast dissemination of ideas and debates. Journals were a particularly important means of transmitting ideas, genres, texts, and pieces of information from country to country, from centre to periphery, and from press to subscribers. These journals became agents of change by mediating the increasingly profound and widespread urge to write and read and to engage in political debate. This volume, edited by Ellen Krefting, Aina N²ding and Mona Ringvej, presents contributions that explore this media revolution from a Northern perspective. The chapters throw new light on the reception of Enlightenment ideas and practices in Denmark-Norway, Sweden-Finland, and beyond. Taken together, they make a strong case for the transnational and revolutionary character of the Enlightenment as a whole"
