Abstract:
In 1644 George Wither stood outside or without the doors of the House of Commons and delivered a speech to Parliament and the nation simultaneously. Not only did this “print oration” function as a prototype for Areopagitica, A Speech of John Milton [. . .] to the Parliament of England, but it inspired a genre of print pamphlets that would extend well into the eighteenth century. This article identifies and argues for the popular consequences of the genre, detailing its contribution to England’s developing structure of political communication and representation.
摘要:1644 年,乔治-威瑟(George Wither)站在下议院门外,同时向议会和全国发表演讲。这篇 "印刷演说 "不仅是《约翰-弥尔顿对英格兰议会的演讲》(Areopagitica, A Speech of John Milton [...] to the Parliament of England)的原型,而且还启发了一种印刷小册子体裁,这种体裁一直延续到 18 世纪。本文指出并论证了这一体裁的流行后果,详细介绍了它对英格兰政治传播和代表结构发展的贡献。
期刊介绍:
Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
