Even in the early modern period, the degree of dissemination and storage density of information multiplied. Print media and the rapidly growing administrative documentation reshaped the foundations of European culture; written communication now took precedence. On the other hand, early modern communication continued to follow older paths, utilizing oral, physical, and symbolic forms. Through a microhistorical approach, both rural and urban communication spaces, the interplay of regulatory measures and participation, cultural staging, and political ceremonies provide insights into a fascinating era. This volume is based on the fourth conference of the Working Group Early Modern Period within the Historians' Association and explores the era as a vibrant age of communication and media.
