Abstract

First full examination of the phenomenon of the medieval political pamphlet. Some sixty years before the advent of the printing press, the first political pamphlets about parliament circulated in the city of London. Often vitriolic and satirical, these handwritten pamphlets reported on a trilogy of parliamentary victories against the crown known as the Good, the Wonderful, and the Merciless Parliaments. The first pamphlets point to the existence of a market of readers hungry for news of parliament as well as to the emergence of public opinion as a political force. This book reconstructs the lives of the political pamphleteers as well as the political landscape of late fourteenth-century England, giving particular emphasis to the large group of bureaucrats living in London to which Geoffrey Chaucer belonged. Dr Clementine Oliver is Associate Professor of History at California State University.

Abstract

In de Republiek waren pamfletten het medium bij uitstek om snel op actuele ontwikkelingen te reageren. Ze zijn daarom tot dusver vooral object van historisch onderzoek geweest. Joost Vrieler laat hier zien, dat zij vanwege hun talrijke literaire vormen echter ook waardevolle bronnen voor de literatuurgeschiedenis zijn. Ruim een kwart van de zeventiende-eeuwse pamfletten bevatte poëzie. In Het poëtisch accent staat de functie van drie frequent beoefende poëtische genres centraal: sonnetten, liederen en echolyriek. Vrieler beschrijft deze aan de hand van historische en retorische analyses. Tevens besteedt hij ruim aandacht aan de ontwikkeling van deze drie genres in de pamfletten. De gedichten blijken niet uitsluitend esthetische doelstellingen te hebben gehad: ze wilden overtuigen, blameren, prijzen of tot actie oproepen, en op die manier invloed uitoefenen op de openbare meningsvorming.

Abstract

Im Zeitalter der neuen Medien, das uns mit bislang kaum überschaubaren neuartigen Formen der Informationsübermittlung konfrontiert, kommt einer Arbeit zu den Flugschriften des Cinquecento nicht allein ein antiquarisches Interesse zu. Vielmehr bildet diese Untersuchung auch eine Fallstudie zu den Auswirkungen einer nicht minder radikalen medientechnischen Revolution: der Einführung des Buchdrucks an der Schwelle zur Neuzeit. Die aktualitätsbezogenen Druckschriften der Jahre 1500 bis 1550 eröffnen uns weitreichende Einblicke in den grundlegenden Wandel kommunikativer Traditionen zu Beginn der typographischen Ära. Dabei erlaubt es gerade der hier entwickelte gattungsgeschichtliche Ansatz, das Nebeneinander mehrerer sprachlicher Varietäten sprachhistorisch zu beschreiben und mit außersprachlichen Faktoren wie mediengeschichtlichen und sozialgeschichtlichen Entwicklungen in Verbindung zu setzen. Ein besonderes Interesse gilt sodann der Abgrenzung dieser 'proto-journalistischen' Textsorte gegenüber dem sich neu konstituierenden Bereich der 'schönen' Literatur. Der Hegemonieanspruch des literarischen Diskursuniversums, seine nur selten in Zweifel gezogene Vorbildfunktion für den gesamten Bereich der Schriftlichkeit kristallisiert sich insgesamt als herausragendes Charakteristikum einer Epoche heraus, die hier in ihren Anfängen modellhaft dargestellt wird und die sich, wie einige Beobachter befürchten (oder hoffen?), nunmehr ihrem Ende zuneigt.

Abstract

This is the first full study in fifty years of the author of the most celebrated political tract of the early years of the English Civil War, Observations upon Some of His Majesties Late Answers and Expresses. Professor Mendle situates each of Parker's significant tracts in its polemical, intellectual, and political context. He also views Parker's literary work in the light of his career as privado, or intimate adviser, to leading figures of the parliamentary leadership. Parker emerges as a fierce opponent of clerical prevention from any quarter, a strikingly brutal critic of the common law mind, and a leading proponent of parliament's most uncompromising position, a claim to a species of executive power so encompassing (and so like the claims of Charles I) that it can fitly be called parliamentary absolutism.

Abstract

Pamphlets have usually been regarded as ephemeral literature with little permanent impact. This work demonstrates the historical value of this genre of political literature. The propaganda pamphlets help historians place a finger on the pulse of an extraordinarily important historical period when new ideas concerning the nation-state, the rights of the governed and forms of political protest complicated the political scene and opened up new fronts of conflict between the colonial state and the colonized subjects. This study devises innovative approaches to reading these pamphlets and generates new insights into the world of the pamphleteers thus providing the readers with a more nuanced understanding of the politics and political culture of early twentieth-century Bengal. In the process, the book makes an important contribution to the historical controversies that the politics of this period has generated among scholars of Indian nationalism.

Abstract

In the decades before the Civil War, English readers confronted an extensive and influential pamphlet literature. This literature addressed contemporary events in scathingly critical terms, was produced in enormous quantities and was devoured by the curious. Despite widespread contemporary interest and an enormous number of surviving copies, this literature has remained almost entirely unknown to scholars because it was circulated in handwriting rather than printed with movable type. Drawing from book history, the sociology of knowledge and the history of political thought, Noah Millstone provides the first systematic account of the production, circulation and reception of these manuscript pamphlets. By placing them in the context of social change, state formation, and the emergence of 'politic' expertise, Millstone uses the pamphlets to resolve one of the central problems of early Stuart history: how and why did the men and women of early seventeenth-century England come to see their world as political?
