A work of comparative synthesis focusing on England, France and the German-speaking territories, this was the first book-length, critical reassessment of what Habermas termed the 'bourgeois public sphere'. During the Enlightenment the Public assumed a new significance as governments came to recognise the power of public opinion in political life; the expansion of print culture created new reading publics and transformed how and what people read; authors and authorship acquired new status, while the growth of commercialized theatres transferred monopoly over the stage from the court to the audience; salons, coffeehouses, taverns and Masonic lodges fostered new practices of sociability. Spanning a variety of disciplines, this important addition to the New Approaches in European History series will be of great interest to students of social and political history, literary studies, political theory, and the history of women. 410 0$aNew approaches to European history ;$v23. 606 $aEnlightenment$zEurope 606 $aCivil society$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPrinting$xSocial aspects$zEurope$y18th century 607 $aEurope$xSocial life and customs$y18th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y18th century 615 0$aEnlightenment 615 0$aCivil society$xHistory 615 0$aPrinting$xSocial aspects 676 $a940.2/8 700 $aMelton$b James Van Horn$f1952-$0158710 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449662603321 996 $aRise of the public in Enlightenment Europe$91271879 997 $aUNINA
