Freedom of the Press in England, 1476-1776: The Rise and Decline of Government Controls

Etukansi
University of Illinois Press, 1952 - 411 sivua
"Through an exhaustive investigation of court cases, Parliamentary discussions, and official papers of such agencies as the Stationers Company, Professor Siebert has put together a lucid step-by-step history of the rise and decline of the concept of governmental control over the circulation of ideas. The period covers English practice from the time when the printing press first came into general use until the outbreak of the American Revolution. The result is a history not simply of an idea but of the application and practical working of an idea."--back cover.
