Still shrink wrapped. 2018. Published at c£130. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch Republic was one of the main centers of media in Europe.

Early Modern Media and the News in Europe brings together fifteen articles dealing with this early news industry in relation to politics and society, written by Joop W. Koopmans in recent decades.
