Andrew Pettigri, a professor of modern history at the University of St. Andrews and an acclaimed writer specializing in the Renaissance, was first published in 2015 and was enthusiastically received by critics and the American media. The New Yorker magazine called it a "revealing story" and literary critic Adam Kirsch said the book is "an outstanding preface to the past that helps us understand our future."
The author covers a period of almost four centuries, from the pre-print era to 1800, from the end of the Middle Ages to the French Revolution, examining in detail the instinct of people to seek news and the desire to be informed. The reader opens up a fascinating panorama of centuries with a truly mulmedia exchange that has absorbed all available means of disseminating news - conversations and rumors, civil ceremonies and celebrations, church sermons and proclamations in the squares, and with the onset of the printed era - pamphlets, ballads, newspapers and leaflets.
