Quick Summary
The rise of newspapers in Britain was a phenomenon that characterized a new age. The newspaper was increasingly a medium for information required by the commercially minded societies of major cities and regional centres. The bulk of advertising, particularly for new books and theatrical performances, has proved especially useful for historians. Cultural trends, political currents and social problems are reflected in the newspapers and give freshness and immediacy to the historic events.
Gale has partnered with the British Library to create one of the richest collections of primary source material in the world.
