Darnton lucidly reconstructs a world where information traveled through poems and songs set to familiar melodies; he reminds us that our world of instant communication, tweets, and 24-hour news cycles is not as distinctive as we may believe. With rich end matter that includes the lyrics of poems and songs as well as a link to a superb recording of some of the songs by cabaret artist Helene Delavault, this interdisciplinary piece is highly recommended for serious students across the humanities as well as readers with an interest in 18th-century French culture and politics. 606 $aCommunication in politics$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aInformation networks$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolice$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical activists$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical culture$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical poetry, French$xHistory and criticism 606 $aStreet music$zFrance$zParis$xHistory and criticism 607 $aParis (France)$xHistory$y1715-1789 607 $aParis (France)$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aParis (France)$xSocial conditions$y18th century 615 0$aCommunication in politics$xHistory 615 0$aInformation networks$xHistory 615 0$aPolice$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical activists$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical poetry, French$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a944/.361034 686 $aAP 13300$2rvk 700 $aDarnton$b Robert$0162547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789813603321 996 $aPoetry and the police$93679469 997 $aUNINA
