Summary:

This volume describes the political communication practices of the authorities in the early modern Netherlands. Arthur der Weduwen provides an in-depth study of early modern state communication - the manner in which government sought to inform its citizens, publicise its laws, and engage publicly in quarrels with political opponents. These communication strategies, including proclamations, the use of town criers, and the printing and affixing of hundreds of thousands of edicts, underpinned the political stability of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic.
