Description - Cultures of Communication from Reformation to Enlightenment by James Van Horn Melton
Focusing on the territories of the Holy Roman Empire from the early Reformation to the mid-18th century, this volume of 15 interdisciplinary essays examines some of the structures, practices and media of communication that helped shape the social, cultural and political history of the period. Not surprisingly, print was an important focal point, but it was only one medium through which individuals and institutions constructed publics and communicated with an audience. Religious iconography and ritual, sermons, music, civic architecture, court ceremony, street gossip and acts of violence are also forms of communication explored in the volume.
