Its purpose is to sketch out the remarkable variety and the conceptual cohesion of the earliest printed news publications and to indicate the extent to which, virtually from the outset, the news that came off the presses was the product of a Europe-wide industry. It enables us to see how early modern European readers of, and listeners to, the news were invited or conditioned by the press to perceive themselves and the world at large.<\/p>\n<p>The topics covered are: \u2018The News. Letters, Posts, the Earliest European Press\u2019, \u2018Royalty. Births, Marriages, Journeys, Festivities, Deaths\u2019, \u2018Discovery, Conquest and War\u2019, \u2018Catholics, Protestants, Heretics, Infidels and Jews\u2019, \u2018The Devil, Sex and Violence, Crime and Punishment\u2019, \u2018Natural Disasters, Signs, Portents, Wonders and Miracles\u2019, and \u2018Monsters: Human, Animal and Fantastical\u2019. The book includes 90 illustrations: for the most part, reproductions of late 15th- to early 17th-century news broadsheets and first pages of early news pamphlets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry Ettinghausen, who joined the Department of Spanish in 1965 and was Professor of Spanish at Southampton from 1983 until he retired in 2001, has just published online How the Press Began.
