About the Book

Sixteenth-century Brussels and Antwerp in combination formed the northern linchpin of an international communication network that covered Western and Central Europe. In the seventeenth century both cities saw the rise of newspapers that compare revealingly with those produced in Germany, the Dutch Republic, England and France. In From Ghent to Aix, Paul Arblaster examines the services that carried the news, the types of news publicized, and the relationship of these newspapers to Baroque Europe’s other methods of public communication, from drums and trumpets, ceremonies and sermons, to almanacs, pamphlets, pasquinades and newsletters. The merchant’s need for information and the government’s desire to influence opinion together opened up a space in which a new social force would take root: the media.

Review :
“From Ghent to Aix is a gem of source-based historical research, and an exemplary study of the propaganda appeal and popular culture of religious antagonism in post-Reformation Europe. […] A very detailed and at times revealing account of early modern news culture that will be indispensable for anyone working with newspapers and related sources from now on.” Michiel van Groesen, Leiden University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 68, No. 3 (Fall 2015), pp. 1103-1105. “The well-crafted research of Paul Arblaster gives remarkable insight into the practices of news publishing in the Southern Netherlands and explains how this relatively small area could develop such a profound importance as a news center.” Jan Hillgaertner, University of St Andrews. In: Reformation, Vol. 20, No. 1 (May 2015), pp. 68-76.
