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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on systematic research in thirty-two Dutch archives, this book demonstrates for the first time how the wealthiest, most literate, and most politically participatory state of early modern Europe was shaped by the communication of political information. It makes a decisive case for the importance of communication to the relationship between rulers and ruled, and the extent to which early modern authorities relied on the active consent of their subjects to legitimise their government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Der Weduwen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 0.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197267431","brand":"British Academy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40997345689715,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":165.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d109ef9b-18a6-444e-a258-a287202ca13d.jpg?v=1696950956","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/state-communication-and-public-politics-in-the-dutch-golden-age-9780197267431","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
