OverviewThis set includes the key 19th-century histories of British journalism. Since William Caxton set up the first printing press in London in 1476, and his apprentice Wynkyn de Worde started printing in Fleet Street, printing and newspapers have become a major part of political and cultural history. These histories follow the changing patterns of journalism from its real beginnings in the 17th century, through the rise of provincial newspapers of the 18th century, and the changes of distribution in the 19th century. Between them the books cover biographical sketches of leading personalities, discussions of press trials and histories of individual newspapers. A companion set on the history of American journalism will be published in 1999.
