16861 HINKS, John, Catherine ARMSTRONG & Matthew DAY [Editors]. PERIODICALS

256p. Hardback, dustjacket. £25.00
This volume in the Print Networks series contains eleven original contributions
by scholars working on periodicals and newspaper in the British Isles, outside London. The essays include case studies of
individual publishers and their experiences in the print market and demonstrate the cultural and political significance of
newspapers and periodicals and their producers. A new theme emerging from the essays is the range of relationships between
producers and consumers of print who lived and worked in the provinces and their connections with London. Examination of the
question of 'provinciality' sheds considerable new light on the connections between book trade people in all parts
of the British Isles. Containing: Iain Beavan Forever provincial? a North British lament, Stephen Brown The market
trade for murder and Edinburgh's eighteenth-century book trade, Stephen Colclough 'The retail newsagents
of Lancashire are on strike': the dispute between the Lancashire retail newsagents and the 'Northern wholesalers',
