Periodicals have been at the core of journalistic activity since before the foundation of the state but have remained an area long neglected within media history. This volume, featuring essays by leading media historians, presents an insight into recent periodicals research in Ireland, much of which has focused on the magazines produced by various interest groups, the relationship between culture and commerce and how periodicals critiqued the national press. Alongside case studies of key periodicals such as Fortnight, In Dublin, Status and The Phoenix, the volume also examines periodicals produced over the course of the twentieth century by religious bodies, the Irish-language lobby, the women's rights movement and the gay-rights campaign. Focusing on key periodicals, proprietors, editors, contributors and controversies, it evaluates the contribution of periodical journalism to the ideas and debates that helped shape twentieth-century Ireland.

Comprehensively sets out the cross-regional and transnational dimension of press history in early-modern Britain and IrelandProvides an exhaustive history of the British and Irish Press from the outbreak of the British Civil Wars to the eve of the Act of Union, reflected upon in a mixture of core chapters, substantive chapters, and focused case studiesSets out to capture the cross-regional and transnational dimension of press history in early-modern Britain and IrelandOffers unique and important reassessments of the seventeenth and eighteenth-century British and Irish periodical press within social, cultural, technological, economic, linguistic and historical contextsConsisting of twenty-eight chapters and numerous case studies the volume examines the history of the British and Irish press from its seventeenth-century beginnings up until the end of the eighteenth century. Five core chapters regard the Business of the Press (including advertising), Production and Distribution, Legal Constraints and Opportunities, Readers and Readerships, and the Emerging Identities and Communities of news writers and journalists. Other contributions focus on particular national realities such as those in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The contributions examine features relating to the production, transmission and reception of not just news publications but also the more specialised press such as periodical essays, women’s periodicals, literary and review journalism, medical journals, and the criminal and religious press. As much early modern news was a transnational phenomenon the volume includes studies on European and trans-Atlantic networks as well as the role of translation in news transmission and output.
