Broadsheet papers were a popular forerunner of the tabloid newspaper, featuring sensational reports of current events, especially violent crimes, executions and political scandal. This collection, first published in 1871, features lurid murder stories, entertaining ballads which lampoon the politicians and royalty of their day, and commemorations of national events.

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.

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.

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.
